Plenty of young workers don’t know much about unions, and there’s a trend among people my age — in their early 20s — to see unions as pretty pointless.

As one friend of mine, who works part-time at K-mart said, “You pay six bucks a week and what do you get? I’ll join my union if I get sick. Until then, I’ll keep my six bucks, thanks.”
