The strength of a union is have a large organization with funds for lawyers and such.

Most of those organizations (like the UAW) don't focus on technology positions, so software people are left out in a lurch a bit.

NYTimes has savvy, vocal people in it that have someone overcome this.

Or, more accurately, tech positions pay well and have good benefits so rarely benefit from unions.
