Nah. You can definitely do both. A labor organization of any meaningful size needs management. A labor union is effectively a business in its own right, after all. Some unions even opt to register as corporations, and some unions even see unions rise up to protect workers from the larger union!

And certainly a tech union, to be effective, would have to be humongous given how easy it is to move the work around.
