Her support is crashing among union members. She is done.
Some unions support her, others aren't. The ones that aren't, if Trump wins, will learn the hard way.
What is Trump going to do to the unions? What did he do to hurt the unions in 2016-2020? The union members supporting Trump don’t remember how he destroyed their unions? Be specific about what he did to destroy the unions while he was president and what he will do if elected to further destroy the unions.
It seems clear the union leadership of some unions support democrats while their membership support Trump. The leaders are siding with democrats over their own union members. Great leaders they are. They are elected to represent their members, not kiss democrat butthole.
One summary. There are many more. The facts are clear that Trump was not good for unions and did not fulfill his 2016 campaign promises.
During Trump’s term, the NLRB members he appointed made it more difficult for unions to win representation at nonunion workplaces, extending the time between when a union files for representation to when an election is held, and thus granting management more time to campaign against the union with its employees.
The Biden NLRB has rolled back those rules after they were struck down in court, and it is moving to make it easier for a union to organize.
The Trump Supreme Court also issued a devasting ruling against public sector unions, which represent almost as many union members as found at private businesses. The 2018 decision, with Justice Neil Gorsuch, a Trump appointee, providing the deciding fifth vote, makes it easier for government employees nationwide to not pay union dues even if their workplace is unionized.
Trump was famous for making promises that he would stop businesses from moving operations out of the country or shutting them down. Among his most vocal promises was that he would stop GM from closing the massive assembly plant in Lordstown, Ohio.
In a 2017 speech in nearby Youngstown, he promised residents that manufacturing jobs would be returning to the region, telling the crowd: “Don’t move. Don’t sell your house.”
But two years later GM closed the plant, despite Trump’s calls to GM CEO Mary Barra and attacks on the company’s closure plans. The company that bought the plant with plans to to eventually hire thousands of workers, Lordstown Motors, produced more losses than pickup trucks, and has already filed for bankruptcy and halted operations.
Trump promised he would impose steep tariffs on vehicles coming from Mexico, a promise he is making again now on the campaign trail. But his 2020 update of the North American Free Trade Agreement, which has long been deeply unpopular with many blue collar workers, imposed no such tariffs on vehicles coming from Mexico, and has done little to change the flow of vehicles across US borders.
While Trump says he created auto jobs and that the Biden administration is destroying them, Michigan lost 1,900 auto manufacturing jobs, or 4% of the total, between February 2017, just after Trump took office in through February 2020, just before the start of the pandemic, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The state gained 1,800 auto jobs from February 2021, Biden’s first month in office, through February of this year.
