LZ Granderson: The only union job i've ever had, as far as i know, or recall at least, was in the newspaper guild when i was at the new york times. As a younger employee coming in, it felt like the union's primary goals were to overpay employees who'd been there a long time and often didn't do a lot of work. It decreased job mobility, both internally and externally. And so if you get involved and you get active and then organize your younger co workers, you can make that change happen.
