Senior managers (heck, even line managers) do not have the right to unionize.

Historically, no group has a right to unionize until they fight to earn it, usually through unionization.

The rules of unionization need to change with the times.

The line manager making less than a SWE 1 isn’t in the same league as senior management who own a significant portion of the company equity.

Even software engineers are subjected to the meat grinder in Amazon.

Indeed. I feel the benefit of unionizing for managers is making the buck stop earlier in the trickle-down chain of bad policies or orders.
