Union members in the auto industry will lose their jobsāand they know it. Thanks to the EV and pro-China policies of Biden and the Washington Democrats, the American auto industry will be reduced by at least half in the next ten years.
While unions have raised the wages and benefits of their members, the cost of living has skyrocketed. Try telling a union member they are better off under Biden than Trump, when they gas up or buy food.
āBy the numbers: Bidendid significantly better with union voters in 2020 than Hillary Clinton in 2016, but NBC polling in February found his strength against Trump in union households has diminished considerably.
- A MarchĀ Quinnipiac pollĀ of Michigan voters showed Biden with a 9-point edge over Trump with voters in union households ā down from a 25-point lead inĀ 2020 exit polling.
- š The signs of slippage with union voters come as polling indicates drops in support for the president among other constituencies āĀ Black,Ā ArabĀ andĀ young votersĀ āĀ that are key to his success in swing states.
Most union members are patriotic. They do not like the Hamas/Nazis being approved by Biden with their close down of campuses by radical Jew hatersāand few get arrested.
| big thing: š¬ Dems’ union problem |
| Axios, 6/18/24 https://www.axios.com/newsletters/axios-sneak-peek-a8104920-2d83-11ef-beb1-dbfae198dce1.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter_axiossneakpeek&stream=top |
| Democratic lawmakers in battleground statesĀ are worried that theirĀ long-running support from union votersĀ may be the latest casualty of a political realignment threatening President Biden’s re-election. Republicans have focused on courting laborĀ this year, and āĀ even more concerning to Democrats ā the head of one of the country’s largest unions is makingĀ overtures to the GOP. š° In February, the TeamstersĀ made itsĀ first major donation to the Republican National CommitteeĀ since 2004 after its president, Sean O’Brien, met with former President Trump the previous month. O’BrienĀ has since requested speaking slotsĀ at both the Republican and Democratic conventions. š Another sign of a potential shift:Ā The United Auto Workers ā a powerful force in battleground Michigan āĀ waited until JanuaryĀ to endorse Biden amidĀ tensions over electric vehicles. šŖ The Biden administration has enacted policiesĀ strengthening unions, with Biden also taking the unprecedented step ofĀ visiting a UAW picket lineĀ last September before winning the group’s endorsement. Biden says he’s the “most pro-union president in history,” and has racked up endorsements from dozens of unions, including many of the nation’s largest. š What we’re hearing: One House Democrat, speaking on the condition of anonymity, chalked up O’Brien’s dueling convention requests to his “ego,” but said the move “doesn’t mean Joe Biden doesn’t have a union problem.” The lawmaker suggested O’Brien is “playing to his members to some extent,” adding: “He does have members who like Trump.” “We need to be concerned,” said Rep. Dan Kildee (D-Mich.), adding that although Democrats are the more pro-union party, “We can’t just assume people are going to figure it out for themselves. We’ve got to tell the story.” Another House Democrat said of union voters’ apparent swing to the GOP: “Every Democrat knows that this is going to happen.” š§® By the numbers:Ā BidendidĀ significantly better with union votersĀ in 2020 than Hillary Clinton in 2016, butĀ NBC pollingĀ in February found his strength against Trump in union households has diminished considerably. A MarchĀ Quinnipiac pollĀ of Michigan voters showed Biden with a 9-point edge over Trump with voters in union households ā down from a 25-point lead inĀ 2020 exit polling. š The signs of slippage with union voters come as polling indicates drops in support for the president among other constituencies āĀ Black,Ā ArabĀ andĀ young votersĀ āĀ that are key to his success in swing states. Several Democrats expressed confidenceĀ that their party’s pro-union record will translate into support from workers in November ā andĀ that unions courting both parties is nothing new. “We’ve always had people within the union movement, especially the building trades, try to be more bipartisan,” said Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.), a Labor Caucus co-chair. He said the “overwhelming union viewpoint” favors Biden. |
This is evolution, progress and technology. The Unions can switch parties but that will not stop the inevitable. The RINOs may try to slow things down, but to no avail!
