I have NEVER seen stickers supporting R candidates on union job sites. NEVER. I am 69 years old, and I say NEVER.

Until this year.

Little by little, I see more and more Trump stickers on hard-hats, tool-boxes, truck bumpers, etc.

I see them inside porta-pots on the wall, I see them on stacks of materials.

I have no idea where they come from. Someone must be buying them, or lots of people must be buying them.

I see buttons on safety vests, I see blacks with them, I see whites with them (I still haven’t seen a hispanic with one, but I keep watching and hoping I do).

For a union worker to support Trump is one thing, for a union worker to OPENLY support Trump is something completely different. These people know they are putting their liviloood on the line and risking retaliation by doing so, yet they don’t care.

I have NOT see a Cruz, Rubio, or Kasich sticker or button anywhere. I have NOT seen a HIllary button or sticker anywhere. I have seen a few Bernie stickers around, but not many, and one I recall being half ripped off.

I am a tradesman, and this only applies to me, I don’t think members of the teachers unions are leaning Trump, and I have no idea about factory workers (if there are any union factories left) or SEIU members, just my observations from Chicago IL regarding skilled tradesmen on union sites.

I am not saying that most tradesman will vote for Trump, but I have never seen a public display on one of my sites supporting a R candidate. That is telling enough.
