What? This has nothing to do with unions. If enough engineers don't want to work on $x, Netflix won't be able to work on $x. If there are enough, they'll find replacements for ones that leave and they'll be able to work on it.
The situation would be identical with unions, unless you think engineers who would be fine working on $x would be OK with their union deciding for them that they shouldn't. More likely they just wouldn't be members of that union.
I never understand why people want to inject an often corrupt, additional layer of insane bureaucracy into a work environment where they already have a lot of leverage. Techies don't unionise for very good reasons!
