IMHO: The foundation of any employees‘ union provides for the fair and equitable treatment of its workers, to render their services in a safe, and reasonably healthy environment, and for fair and just compensation for services rendered. Health care and other benefits often figure into the rationale as well. The contemporary union entity is founded upon such premises, however, has a tendency to be corrupt in its means through abuse of power and dictatorial policy implementation--today‘s unions are a mere shadow of the original concept of "union".
I feel that the CF is an environment in which a union would have no tangible, viable, or redeemable effect. Soldiers are steeped in discipline and knowledge of rank structure, and would no longer benefit from such conditioning/training if assembled under a union banner. Aside from instances of controversial leadership, the CF soldier‘s training makes the soldier strong--dependant only upon the command structure, training, and ethos of the CF in its mission. The idea of a union is insoluble with these facts. Again, IMHO...
