Unionization doesn't provide freedom, it provides more structure. Sure it can benefit you as times are hard, but unlike physical labor or hazardous work conditions, the need that you seem to be wanting is not a union. You are looking for ways for the status quo of employees to change from their employers. The ownership and lack of respect many companies have on their employees can create issues.

What if instead you fought for a different system that would put more control in the hands of groups of developers without unions? What if you solidified what it meant to create teams that can stand up for what they believe inside the organizations?

I think teams will end up running most organizations, if many are not already. I read everyday about some team leaving and forming an entire product for another company. Why is this so hard on a massive scale?

Why not create a movement for teams inside companies to change the relation vs external structures like unions.

Forget unions. Build your teams and stand up for what the team believes in, regardless of what company you work for.
