I'm all for unions, as they are perhaps a first step away from the rat race towards progressive change. But if there's going to be a sea change, here are some other dichotomies to consider:

  Individual brands <-> Right to anonymity
  40 hour workweek <-> Seasonal work
  Manual labor <-> Automation
  Rent seeking <-> Commons
  Service economy <-> Information economy
  Wealth inequality <-> Middle class
  Welfare <-> UBI
  Raising retirement age <-> Lowering retirement age
  Minimum wage <-> Living wage
  Intellectual property <-> Public domain
  Tax reduction <-> Progressive taxation
  Usury <-> Access to capital
  Monopoly <-> Consumer protections
  For-profit insurance <-> Single-payer healthcare
  Corruption <-> Transparency
  Mass incarceration <-> Equal justice under the law
  Externalities like climate change <-> Stewardship
  Big brother <-> Reproductive privacy
  War <-> Diplomacy
  Human trafficking <-> Human rights
  Liberty <-> Justice
  Department of Defense <-> Department of Peace
  Discrimination <-> Diversity

The idea is to restore a healthy work/life balance for all and rebuild the American Dream. My lived experience has been that the USA has moved in what might be candidly called a regressive direction the last 20 years, and especially since 1980 as the rights of capital have eclipsed the rights of labor. We've embraced the objective for so long out of necessity that we've neglected the subjective as a basis for quality of life.

In other words: in the face of global threats like climate change, young people can no longer assume that business-as-usual will save them. Things must change, for our very survival.

Our ancestors faced similar challenges over a century ago during the progressive era:
