The rest of us are screwed, you older folk just make sure you get your SS money and medicare covered (preferably from the rich but I'm guessing us young'uns will just get even more screwed).

Problem with unions with my generation is that we've been given the free trade mantra for most of our lives and the fact that the most visible union companies, namely the big 3 auto manufacturers, made inferior cars than the rest of the competition didn't help. Big 3 had a glimmer of hope with Saturn, when I was in college everyone wanted one (I wanted one too!), but they stiffled the brand since then (until just very recently). I hear the Millenials are more open minded about the big 3, but they're also more civic and environmentally aware such that if the big 3 keep going their gas guzzling ways they'd have lost another generation (if they haven't lost them already as I hear the most pampered generation are getting new xB/yaris/fit/versa as their first cars!).
