I don't even know of any tech unions in the US. But I can guarantee you, if the typical middle manager told his group of teamsters or UAW members that not only were they going to be fired, but if they wanted their severance, they'd train their own replacements - a bunch of 20 somethings from <low wage S. Asian country> on a work visa - the manager would probably end up missing. It's interesting just how well the elites have trained us US tech workers to be good global, corporate soldiers.
