Labor rights degraded quite a bit between boomers and millennials. Hell, it has degraded between Millennials and gen z! Our current economic model is not sustainable. It is a cancer.

How have they degraded, exactly? Be extremely specific, I want to know what rights you have lost from, lets start with the one president you want to point to as the root of all evil at 1981, to now.
yeah, because you need a lot of labour rights to make a living ... a person with skills and good work ethic will always find work, with or without "rights"
Always find work, sure, but work conditions are a big deal.

What ended child labor in (most) of the west? What gave us the weekend? What gave us paid time off? Blood. People had to sacrifice their lives. We have to actively fight for better working conditions.

not much relevant to me, and perhaps a lot of other people. I run my own business so no paid time off. Also, if needed I work weekends too - no issue.
