You can demand all you want, but if there are no unions or legislations to back your demands, nothing is ever going to happen.
Unions, which are most widely found in western Europe accomplish little these days (the negotiated wages for call center workers are barely livable for example).
If you're a skilled developer, you can work your way to freelancer / self employed consultant or join one of the companies that offers part time work / 4 day work week (there was a recent article about one in Portland that only does 4 day work weeks).
If you're unskilled, you'll always be fucked to varying degrees, as such is life unfortunately.
Also it's hard to take an article seriously when it cites Marx, whose theories obviously don't work in the real world, as humans are competitive to varying degrees by nature.
