Steven Greenhouse at The Guardian reports even though the vast majority of Labor Unions have endorsed Democratic Candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris, many Union Members support Republican/MAGA Candidate and former President Donald Trump.  With the race so close, Unions have stepped up efforts to convince those Workers that Trump is no friend of Unions or Workers.  In the State of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin - States that Harris badly needs to win - Union Households are an important voting bloc and Unions have mobilized thousands of Members to engage in worksite conversations, door-knocking and phone-banking to make the case that Harris is far better for Workers than Trump.  “Trump has found ways to break through with Working People,” National AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler told The Guardian. “He has the rhetoric down, but he doesn’t have the results to back it up.  That’s why it’s important that we, as messengers, combat that with facts.”  The National AFL-CIO is urging the Nation’s 14.4 million Union Members to look at its “candidate comparison” website, which makes the case Trump is Anti-Union.  He crossed a union picket line, praised the idea of firing Workers who are on Strike and often used Non-Union Workers at his construction sites.  In contrast, the website explains, Harris has shown solidarity with Workers by, for instance, walking a United Auto Workers picket line and by, unlike Trump, backing the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, which would make it easier to Unionize Workers.
