"They grew up being told they were going to be better off than their parents. The fact is, they struggled to find jobs, and the jobs they found were not as good as their parents'. They and the generations that follow them are saddled with college debt. They're looking at a world where they wonder if they should even have children because of climate change." "Once you've been through one union campaign, it's a lot harder to just accept exploitation or unfair conditions, or having no voice in future workplaces."

Gen Z acts like they're so different from their parents, but I remember so many articles written exactly like this about us millennials, too. Weird deja vu.
