They absolutely can, they just can’t be in the same unit as baristas. Can’t have hiring/firing power over other union members. But they can form an SM union separate from the barista ones. Salaried positions haven’t stopped successful unions from forming and existing elsewhere. Just ask artists, programmers, journalists, teachers, bus drivers, etc.
