It'll be interesting to see if oilsands/thermal plants unionize. They're large, long life plants that don't move with large numbers of skilled blue collar workers. Theoretically should be able to unionize them. I doubt it'll happen though, because the market keeps delivering higher wages and better benefits and working conditions for those people year in and year out.
