US labor unions gear up to fight against Trump’s ‘Billionaire First’ agenda

  I remember 2024 when I was inundated with union guys saying Trump was best (because of protectionist tariffs). Then in 2025 lamenting that tariffs were making things they want to buy more expensive, and that there should only be tariffs on the products their specific union makes, but tariffs on things they want to buy should not be a thing.

  I guess we’ve come around to remembering that somehow the quintessential rich guy for the “trickle down” party isn’t going to be good for workers after all… what a shock…

    One of the more northern unions that got “in trouble” for choosing not to endorse trump had a very weird polling. When they polled for Biden was like 56% in 2024 dropped to 32% for Harris when Biden dropped out. Union guys are weird.
