Studying a large American union, we report on findings from two studies investigating perceptions of and attitudes towards unions through a generational cohort lens. Study one explores the link between generational cohort and members' perceptions of unions, employing qualitative analysis of 100 interviews: 30 Millennials, 35 Gen X, and 35 Baby Boomers. Analysis determined that union members focus on either ideological or instrumental explanations to support perceptions that their generation was either pro-union or anti-union. Themes identified in study one were further explored in a quantitative study which involved statistical analysis of survey data (n = 4717) to identify possible differences in pro and anti-union attitudes across three generational cohorts: baby boomer (n = 2857), Gen X (n = 1256), and millennials (n = 304). Data from both studies support the idea that pro-union perceptions and attitudes are more prevalent among those in the baby boomer cohort than Gen Xers, and millennials.
我们研究了一个大型美国工会，通过代际视角报告了两项关于对工会的看法和态度的研究结果。第一项研究通过对 100 次访谈的定性分析，探讨了代际和工会成员对工会的看法之间的联系：30 名千禧一代、35 名 X 一代和 35 名婴儿潮一代。分析结果表明，工会成员关注的是意识形态或工具性解释，以支持他们的代际是支持工会还是反对工会的看法。在一项涉及对 4717 名参与者进行调查数据的统计分析的定量研究中，进一步探讨了在第一项研究中确定的主题，以确定在三个代际群体（婴儿潮一代（n = 2857）、X 一代（n = 1256）和千禧一代（n = 304）中，支持工会和反对工会的态度是否存在差异。这两项研究的数据都支持这样一种观点，即支持工会的看法和态度在婴儿潮一代中比 X 一代和千禧一代更为普遍。
