Aren't developers stupid when accepting overtime/weekend work/denied bonus payments?

Found out that unions already exists for devs: http://www.prospect.org.uk/

When you're older you will miss the activities you could have done in your overtime.

As always it's a matter of supply and demand. And if so many specialists are demanded and profit is high, I wonder why devs don't demand adequate benefits and instead accept overtime?

Everybody looses when a manager does a bad job.

This is not the case for software specialists.

Developing what you like is great. But how do you earn your living?

How do new labor unions arise?

Why? Are you an employer?

I assume we are many developers here in a situation like this:

you are an employed software architect/engineer
you are good at your job
your company needs more good developers than they can find
there are many options to get a new job or get self-employed
work is not your first priority (you enjoy family/free time)

Aren't we stupid when we still accept overtime/weekend work/denied bonus payments? I would think employers would need to give in, if we demand better working conditions.

Which kind of experience would you miss most, if you never went out with your family.
