The only reason to form a union is if your employer is mistreating you. Thus, I have to assume that Ubisoft was mistreating their employees in some way or another.
That may be true, but Ubisoft is in a bit of trouble. Everyone's jobs are on the line, and there's no guarantee that performance will equal job security. Are you familiar with the Tencent situation?

The other reason is you want to prevent mistreatment to happen based on 1) observation that it is happening in other companies in the same industry, and 2) it is likely to happen in yours as well if no force is set to push backwards preventively.
Unions historically almost provided training. Some still do, like plumbers and electricians. I always thought that a union providing training for programmers and administrators was a more effective solution than higher education for most positions.
Form a worker-owned co-op to do more-or-less the same work and keep more of the profit workers generate rather than handing control and profits to an idle, rent-seeking parasite class of do-nothing money hoarders.
