This is because upper management has an imbalance of power, agreed.

But it seems to me that unionisation ultimately gives management additional power - when the management can re-direct employees to the bureaucracy of the union structure - where the union has negotiated protection for their own upper management - rather than manage with them as individuals with individual circumstances.

But they don't already manage them as individuals as individual circumstances. They manage them as interchangeable pieces who have weakly singular leverage.
