    I’m not sure a single union endorsed Trump.

      Steamfitters, steel, and police unions endorsed trump. Mostly police. Steelworkers and steamfitters were the local, not the entire org.

        Oh, well cops, I should have assumed. I wonder what the reasoning behind the others were.

          I believe both were about inflation (caused by Trump/Covid but they dont understand that) and immigratation (thinking illegal immigrants are taking their work - they aren’t, companies who pay illegal immigrants drastically lower rates do by under bidding projects).

          In short, ignorance.

      The Teamsters president didn’t endorse anyone, but spoke at the RNC. That’s likely the reason they got a reasonable Labor Secretary.

      They ALL rather did, it seemed.

      And not because of some overlap of purpose or goals: stupid social media fooling the members. It’s leopards, all the way down.
