Sorry, unconverted.

There are only three circumstances where employees should have the right to unionize:

* Low wage jobs, which I define to be less than $50,000 per year

* High risk jobs, where health and safety needs to be monitored

* Abusive employers, as decided by the Labour Relations Board

I also think employers should be given another weapon to fight a strike. The ability to fire or replace any number of employees without cause with only standard severance.

That is, once your employees are on strike, you can then decide it is a good time to reorganize your work force, letting go some of your least productive workers and hiring some replacements.

So, you go on strike, you risk losing your job because if your employer can find someone better, they will.

If not, you're safe.
