You idea is brilliant...except it would lead to a general strike. Enjoy watching society crumble.

If there was no union, how could they strike? Wouldn't those who refused to work just get fired?

One could argue that the unions have taken over what the government should have been doing all along, that is, arruring that 'workers' are treated fairly.blah blah.

Unions just add another layer of costs to the equation, not to mention the friggin' bureaucracy that is extremely expensive.

Did everyone who participated in the General Strike belong to a union? You think that 32,000 current members of MGEU, not to mention the teachers, nurses etc. and the municpal workers (police, fire, ambulance, transit etc.) would all just sit back and watch while they lose their rights to collective bargaining? You fire them all and how long do you think the province would last without essential services? A week, 2 weeks, a month? I doubt it.

Think again. Ain't going to happen. Ever. It would be political suicide and a nightmare to even contemplate.
