The "world leaders" in the US rely on highly skilled labor and pay top dollar for it. There is no need for Google employees to unionize because they're doing really well.

They're not crippled because they're unionized, they're non-union because highly skilled workers are in short supply.

When our "everyone should learn to code" and "if you're not a STEM major you don't deserve to exist" initiatives gain more traction and Google/Apple/Facebook are drowning in highly qualified candidates, that could easily turn around.
