And the children shall lead us

In a trend that should surprise no one, Labor Unions are making a comeback in terms of their favorability among Americans, almost returning to prior Great Recession levels.  Interestingly, Unions enjoy their highest support among those aged 18-29, 61%, even those only about four percent of those young people actually belong to Unions.

Don't think it has anything to do with watching their parents spend a lifetime getting fucked over by corporations, being underpaid by corporations after following the conventional wisdom and spending four years of their lives in college and taking on massive debt to do so (if they find a job at all), or the fact that young people hold a disproportionate amount of McJobs, which quite frankly, cannot possibly be worth the grief, do you?

If republican election analysts had a brain, these numbers would keep them up at night.  It may take a while, but what goes around, almost always comes around.

Peace,
