This is the sort of thing that makes me very sympathetic to unions. Imagine if the entire disney IT workforce stood up at once and said "ok, we all leave, now." What would happen to Disney's IT systems?
This is almost a perfect example of divide-and-conquer, where a united and powerful single actor (a corporation) picks off workers one by one.
I'm pretty sure, at this point, that IT workers will never unionize. I'd say that people who see the value in a union will probably just go into other fields (like nursing, where unions have actually successfully threatened strikes over exactly this issue).
