The majority of us go to basic schooling until we are 18. Many go to college after that, many go to trade schools... by the age of 22-23 one is "done" with schooling and ready to go "work." That is less than a fifth of someone's life spent training and schooling... why do people think that fifth of life in school should be able to keep them relevant until retirement?

The world changes. If an industry dies, one must move on, not force employment.
one of the things the union is fighting verizon on is that the union workers pay nothing for healthcare benefits. Verizon wants them to start paying, like 99% of the rest of america.

the union fights for this benefit in spite of their sector dying off.
