I'd hate to be stuck in a Union where what I'm paid is based on my seniority or on some test they come up with to measure my ability. I like being able to negotiate my salary. Unions may initially bring us higher wages but the combination of union dues, corruption, and bureaucratization of our field by unions will ruin it. Soon you wont be able to develop unless you're part of a union and have done your mandatory 3 years apprenticeship if we go that path. I don't want to be the next automotive industry.

As food for thought, could the coding schools be creating exactly that? (While from another perspective, they create an avenue of home-grown employment for displaced workers in an economy where entire sectors have disappeared.) Also consider consulting shops that adhere rigidly to specific development tools and practices, including hiring only compliant developers for customers, post-engagement.
