Kate Bronfenbrenner, director of Labor Education Research and senior lecturer at Cornell University says, "They've seen opportunities for their generation disappear and are afraid they are going to be worse off than their parents. They look around and see who is doing something, and they see the labor movement." Many members interviewed by CNN said that they wanted to be a part of some movement where social causes are part of their workplace values. One example is Kaitlin Bell, 23. Bell is a communications chair of the Nonprofit Professional Employees Union and a member of CLINIC Workers United. She decided she wanted to organize after seeing millennials making Tik Toks about overbearing bosses and their fears of getting fired. She says, "I want to be in a work environment where people feel safe and secure. Those TikToks are funny, but if that's our reality for the next several decades, it can be a little disheartening."
Richard Minter, the organizing director of Workers United says that he has organized about 300 members in the last 18 months and he has never seen such a great number of young people. He said most of them work in the restaurant or service industry. Minter said, "In my history of doing this for 27 years, I don't think I've seen that kind of bravery."
