How do you unionize just the value producers, without also unionizing (and entrenching) layers of middle management?

[maxxxxx]

As long as companies maintain a pyramid structure management layers will be outnumbered by workers. It balances things automatically.

It is my belief that after the creation of the NLRB this is no longer possible, though people did it before that.

Why would middle management need unionization?

[mymosh]

Would a senior programmer be ejected from the union when they are promoted to say a project manager? I'm just not sure you can isolate value producers.

[maxerickson]

Right, they are forming professional societies.
