The future is looking bright for organized labor, with strong support across all generations and highest among Generation Z. According to recent reports, members of Gen Z have been on the frontlines leading the renewed push for labor unions.
A new analysis from the Center for American Progress confirms that Generation Z is America’s most pro-union generation, even more so than older workers were at their age. And in a recent AFL-CIO poll, 88% of people under 30 view unions favorably.
The Center for American Progress concluded: “As more young people complete their education and enter the workforce, the trend of Millennial- and Gen Z-driven organizing on the basis of widespread pro-union consciousness among young workers may accelerate, promising organized labor a home in America’s workforce for decades to come.”
