Generational Challenges

Recently, I had an opportunity to have lunch with a number of individuals from different businesses who, to varying degrees, have responsibilities for labor relations in unionized work environments. I took a back seat to the conversation so as not to interject my own perspectives and experiences. Most of the attendees were of either the Baby Boomer or Generation X generations. However, a few were members of the Millennial generation. The discussion turned occasionally to unions and, surprisingly, became quite heated at times.
