Oh heck yeah. Get them pro-labour early, so they're ready to shove down the bourgeois by lunch to seize the means of production.
I joke but I think this is pretty cool.

In before Florida outlaws schools teaching kids about worker’s rights.
Pretty sure that's covered by the patently ridiculous and explicitly oppressive "stop woke act" already
Whether or not a union ought to be formed for a given workplace is not a matter on which I will comment. What I will say is that a mass of people who are well-educated on their rights makes them a force with which to be reckoned.
It was a subject we went over in social studies once or twice in Maryland. It often goes through one ear and out the other and its hard for a school to impress on students just how many rights they lost with some of the anti wildcat/secondary action legislation.
Workers have much more power than even their supposed "rights" give them, and if they start realizing again just how scared shitless the status quo is of them flexing them they'd have a lot more power.
In CA. Does this mean our middle-schooler is going to demand collective bargaining rights over having to take the recycling bin out?
Sounds like you could benefit from these classes so you can understand what collective bargaining is.
