Matt Di Carlo has an even clearer demonstration of the strong relationship between being old and being skeptical of labor unions, this time using General Social Survey data:
The available data doesn’t really let us know if this is an aging effect or a cohort effect, but my speculation is that it’s a cohort effect if only because seniority-oriented pay schemes associated with labor unions seem like something that one would come to have more affection for as one ages.
