>>Then again, a LOT of unions may actually like Trump.
Most unions hate Trump. All of the skilled union workers I know are card-carrying Republicans who already voted for him in the primary.
The ditch digger type of union members are feeling the Bern.
No one with functioning testicles wants Hillary.
amen
Quite a bit of truth to this. I am a pipefitter. My union is going to publicly endorse Hillary for sure (but many of the members will not).
I know IBEW guys, plumbers, welders, teamsters, LEOs, and FD Union members who are ALL Trump. I imagine many auto-workers and machinists will also vote Trump.
The unions left us blue-collar types when they started supporting NAFTA and supporting illegals over their own members (also one reason why many of us never supported the R’s after Reagan, the R’s also supported that platform, but many like me had hope our unions would help us... they did NOT)
The laborers union here will go Bernie (as will it’s members).
Teachers and others who make a paycheck where there is gub’mint security and no competition will go Hillary though, she represents the status quo, and they do NOT want their apple cart overturned (the exception will be Police and FD Union members who are out-raged over BLM).
By the way, I am in Illinois.
As a by-note; most union folks I talk to do NOT see Trump as the enemy, like they did Romney (or any R since Reagan). He has not fought with unions nor made them out to be the turd in the punch bowl when it comes to their globalist ideas. Instead, he talks about helping us with jobs, sealing the borders, and Making America Great Again.
Union members cannot argue with that message, nor Trump’s history with us. He has employed many many union folks over the years.
