What generational aspects (i.e., baby boomers, Generation X, Generation Y) have influenced labor unions and will continue to do so?
8-12 pages; 6 scholarly sources; due tonight
Have the intro done. I mainly need help with writing about baby boomers and labor unions.
This is what I have so far for the into and the part about baby boomers
Intro:
Over time the number of labor union memberships have slowly been on the decline. Labor unions were established during the 19th Century, as a means to combat issues within the workplace. Issues such as safety, fair wages and benefits, fair working hours (such as working 8 hours a day rather than 12 or more). A labor union is defined as, "an organization of workers formed for the purpose of advancing its members' interests in respect to wages, benefits, and working conditions" (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/labor%20union). Changes in demographics have played a role with the decline in union memberships but generational aspects play a role in this as well.
Baby Boomers:
A baby boomer is defined as, "a person born during a baby boom, especially one born in the U.S. between 1946 and 1965" (http://www.dictionary.com/browse/baby--boomer?). Baby boomers represented a large number of the population for decades but over the years there have been changes in demographics and culture. "In 1960, 35 percent of all non-agricultural workers in the United States belong to a union. But by 1980 that portion had fallen to under a quarter, and by 1989 to about 17" (https://books.google.com/books?&lr=&&&&+membership+with+baby+boomers&-yVh1zf9&-QgtlEhKj4AQZPc#&&).
