Of Labor and Youth.

Young folks are really getting into labor, it seems.

I think they know they're getting such a raw deal, and they know they have little to lose.

So, the fear-tactics on unions making things worse just don't resonate with them, since instead they have a blank slate where they're open to the possibility of collective bargaining, properly explained.

A lot of them also want a fight with a strike.

The library workers I know are just looking for a reason to shut the library down during exams, perhaps along with the coffee shops.

"That would just cause absolute chaos," one of them was like.

Some people I know were also out on strike with striking telecommunications workers, and they also noted the youth of the folks, and the enthusiasm.
