Strikes are probably the least effective tactic for a tech union. Software isn't a coal mine or a railway. Plenty of products have glided along for a while with very few people maintaining them. Sometimes even zero.
I imagine if we do see tech collective action it'll probably be done quietly in the form of silently exploding technical debt, with documentation that misleads more than it informs and products that collapse under the weight of their own unmaintainability.

Imagine your biggest contract having to wait 2 weeks before you can fix the bug that is crashing their business. Imagine zero tech support because unpaid after hours tech support is horse shit.
