In keeping with the topic, I don't think developers are unionized in those countries either.

  Some are, some are not -- at least in Norway. Unions are particularly strong in the government sector, and generally even developers will be unionised there -- in the private sector there's a general feel that a software engineer is in such a strong position that they don't need a union. Like for most types of work -- that's probably wrong. But people only ever figure it out when it's too late. At my previous workplace (a research institute) I believe pretty much 100% were organized, both researchers, developers, sys.admins and other staff.
