This could backfire hilariously, if the judge determines that those people, due to being fired, no longer are engaged in intelligence, counterintelligence, investigative, or national security work, and are therefore outside the scope of this exemption.

Combined with the freedom of association, this could open up a new union type, which doesn't have the ability to strike, but would be able to represent you in cases such as unfair dismissals.
