Unions don't help in the long term. They are for profit organizaitons that use harsh tactics to intimidate both employers and union members. I've seen this done for over 10 years. In other trades that my family members belong to.
As a developer, I strongly feel we need representation that will not cost us a dime! We need a guild that will represent our needs. A non profit organization that will be our voice.
Unions don't work. Only the tatics employeed by unions work. Unions encourage their memebers to perform illegal acts against a company when certain working/contractual conditions are not met. This is not good for our economy nor is it good for the future. Large IT companies will go offshore and hire unskilled laborers, programmers etc.. to do the work that can be done here in the states.
Don't be against some kind of organization, make sure you think about a guild, that doesn't profit from our hard work. We need some kind of a foundation. Something like the Free Developers Guild (FDG), Free Network Engineer's Guild (FNEG)
etc...
The Guild's can force companies to make working conditions better etc.. by notifying the media, political representatives etc..
The Guild's will never engage in illegal activities, like sabotage(sp), violence against employers and employees.

This what we need to work for.
