If this logic held, we in democratic countries would only have left-wing governments. Actually, people like unions less as they age for various reasons.

That does not necessarily follow. You can’t assume the younger cohort won’t change their opinion over time.

I suppose the beatings could continue until morale improves and under 30 cohort union support declines while continuing to be at will workers having limited agency over working conditions and little power to obtain better wages and other non cash compensation. I believe it to be unlikely though, considering executive branch support via the NLRB (success begets success), youth engagement and activism, etc.
