Question: Are CIA people union employees?
These agencies ( FBI, CIA, NSA) are excluded on the grounds of National secuity, e.g the security work exception in 7112(b)(6), of the Federal Labor Relations Authority Law.
Good Question: I don't think they are.
But they are working on it.

U.S. Dep’t of Justice, Order Granting Application for Review March 30, 2007 (unpublished)
In this unpublished order, the Authority granted the Agency’s application for review of the Regional Director’s decision that four employees who work in the Agency’s Automated Booking System Program Management Office should not be excluded from a unit under § 7112(b)(6) of the Statute (which excludes employees who are engaged in “security work which directly affects national security.”). The Agency argues, among other things, that the Authority should reconsider its precedent and hold that employees who encumber positions identified as “sensitive” and/or hold security clearances entitling them to review classified information should automatically be excluded under § 7112(b)(6).
