The counterexample to both these points is a union like the Screen Actors Guild, which allows superstars to be compensated accordingly and does not depend on something like objective measures of achievement. If I were a tech worker in a union I'd want it to go in that direction, as opposed to something like the traditional UAW.

Absolutely agree. They also run a multiemployer defined benefit plan, which might be worthwhile to set up. That, alongside defining and pushing for developer-friendly working conditions.
