Considering most labor protections in the US are written to create an "exempt" employee who is largely unprotected in labor matters, and that exemption is almost entirely for anyone working in the software industry... yeah, unionization and law change would be nice.
If software companies were forced to pay overtime instead of expecting it for no cost, I think work/life balance would look a lot different.

I know people who make less than they would at a call center. Of course they're living at home, socially stunted, and don't understand the value they provide.
