Tech workers have realized that they too are workers; temporarily privileged, but that it not only did not confer any real power, and that they could not insulate themselves such that the problems would not strike them. Previously the thinking was "we're unique and special, and deserve all this high pay - it will continue in perpetuity, and as long as your output is good you will be fine. The system works and is just! If you fail, it's your fault". After being struck by algorithmic layoffs, they're no longer sure of their worldview. They've been put in their place - highly paid, but utterly at the whim of the capital class. For the first time they realize they're as replaceable as the truck drivers they so want to automate out of existence. Solidarity is in the zeitgeist; let's unionize! We have songs, and can march long; let's smash these chains of our oppression - together! ...would be my guess.
