The past year and a half has revealed that a lot of programmers have the same "sense of entitlement" as laid-off Ohio steelworkers or West Virginia Coal miners.

That entitlement was always there, it was just papered over by a boom driven by ZIRP. Now that market conditions are less favorable, perhaps that entitlement might actually be channeled towards unionization activity.
