Tech people go to conferences and conventions. (If they do not go, colleagues might go.) Conference venues are notorious for having unions that flip out if you attempt to perform basic tasks like moving your own objects a few inches or plugging a laptop into an electrical outlet. Because the stories are outrageous, they are shared with colleagues.

Tech people work in buildings. Some buildings are union-operated, particularly for smaller firms that do not own their own campus. The most direct experience a tech person might have with a union on a day to day basis is as an explanation for why there are months-long delays for basic repairs and upgrades to their facilities.

Is there any similar manner in which tech people interact with the Writers Guild of America? ... Perhaps at Netflix specifically? News coverage of the writer's strike is not the same.
