There are always those willing to work in harsher conditions, esp when the pay is still this good.
If actively employed tried to unionize and got fired, there'd be troves of those waiting to replace them.
If IT workers unionized 2-3 years ago to ask for even better conditions (regular 4 day weeks with 6-7h days, for instance), there would still have been plenty of them who'd be willing to work 9-10h 5 days a week for the great pay, and the unionized wouldn't get any "bite" from the employers. Esp as the field is swamped with young talent coming in.
I do wonder at what point do we get to a turning point where it's worth standing up for others as well (compared to just looking out for yourself), but it seems the market situation is exactly not it today.
