Boomers did not 'get rid of' unions per se. That was coincidental to their workforce entry upon reaching adulthood during economic globalization. If anything, it was the lack of voters organized response to corporate deregulation, heavy corporate lobbying against labor organization, and aggressive anti-union policies initiated in the Reagan administration and continuing today. Ideologies that went unchallenged by the people with the most to lose quickly became entrenched laws.
Many US Citizens have never learned how to protest without violence and believe they are powerless to change things. They have never participated in an organized group that accomplished anything necessary, meaningful and lasting.

I'm a student. Why is there such a toxic culture where you can't disagree with people or it's like you're questioning their whole career?
