Sensationalist. What is "worker power" in this context anyway? As an active software engineer I don't feel my power has been reduced in the slightest. We went through a coronavirus/low interest rate bubble, now things are normalizing. I swear after centuries of capitalism you'd think people would understand that things go down as well as up, and just because they go down once in a while is not a harbinger of the apocalypse or a sign of any grand conspiracy. By the definition of many of these articles the only solution that doesn't "hurt labor" is if the executive suite walks out en masse, apologizes on their knees for being exploitative capitalist pigs, and turns the company into an employee-run non-profit co-cop/adopts European-style labor relations. I fully expect to get laid off at some point in my career due to factors beyond my control. That's part of the deal, and anyone betting on an alternate state of affairs needs to get their shit together. Also buy a goddamn life insurance policy if you have dependents, contribute to your 401k, and save up a few months of expenses so you can deal with being laid off if it happens. None of these should be a problem at the pay scale of engineers at any of these companies that have done layoffs.
