Gen Z leading the charge in resurgence of union popularity

My father was an auto worker, union to the bone. He retired with benefits and medical. This was the 50s and 60s.

I love this!

Union strong! Strong labor involvement is a positive for our economy and good for workers! Happy that my fellow Millennials and Gen Z are pushing for stronger labor rights!

I've been a Finish Carpenter for 27 years, in the state I'm in there isn't a Union. I got nothing to show for it except aches and pains.

I have been encouraging young people to learn a trade for a long time. So this is great, great news!!!! ❤

Gen Z might want to remember that it might feel like a win in the short term, but let's not forget how many industries have struggled to stay afloat under the weight of union demands.

WTF is she wearing?

Belonged to a couple and was never a fan. The union president usually rewards himself richly. Also, they like to use strikes as a negotiation tool, I've seen people lose their jobs that way.

This is not something to be proud of.
