 Nov. 25, 2015 | LABOR’S CHANGING DEMOGRAPHICS | There might not be too many younger workers represented by unions yet, but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to be. “Our generation was taught that you go to college, graduate with a degree, and then get a job,” said Molly Meyer, author of “It’s My Company Too!” “That is no longer the case – our generation is swimming in student debt, now, instead. Somehow, somewhere, in the eyes of businesses and in the eyes of college institutions, the value of a college education doesn’t match up from a dollar perspective. Perhaps our lean toward unionization is a way to remedy that discrepancy on one end.” Younger workers are more drawn to unions as a result of the economy they came of age in. Work Force
