I think it is also generational. We now have in the workplace a few generations of workers who grew up being told their opinions mattered and that speaking up is a virtue. I don't think it is necessarily a bad thing.
Us old-timers were taught the opposite, your opinions don't matter much, no one will listen to you until you prove yourself, etc.
So I think the generational shift has something to do with it.
I also think labor organizers are exuberant because they finally have a way to build a wedge between highly-paid employees who were formerly resistant to unionizing and their management.
