(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - Two prominent Black Union Leaders - Communications Workers of America (CWA) President Claude Cummings and James Curbeam, Chairman of the Teamsters Black Caucus, are warning African American Voters - and everyone else - about the threat of MAGA/Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump, and specifically about his platform: Project 2025.

Their cautions were part of a wide-ranging discussion of that tome, created by the Radical Right Heritage Foundation, an ideological Think Tank which hates Workers, Women, LGBT People and People of Color, among others.

A former Trump Regime Official led the project and others of his ilk, plus GOP President Ronald Reagan’s Attorney General, Edwin Meese, populated it with their recommendations.

The warnings are important because, as Curbeam said, Organized Labor sets the standards for other firms in the U.S. to match wages and benefits.

Democratic President Joe Biden has repeatedly made the same point by declaring: “Where Unions are strong, America is strong.”

Trump’s Project 2025 platform “would make it harder for Workers to organize” into Unions to protect themselves “and make it harder to get ahead,” Cummings told the session that the Working Families Party and MoveOn.org sponsored.

And a measure co-sponsored by Trump’s Vice-Presidential Running Mate, U.S. Senator J.D. Vance (Republican-Ohio), “would let management set up their own fake unions,” Cummings added.

Project 2025 would also abolish card-check recognition of Unions, he said.

“The ones who really benefit from that are Anti-Union employers” who can use Union Recognition Election Campaigns to intimidate, spy on, fire and otherwise break Labor Law against Workers.

CWA has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as soon as she took over the Democratic ticket from her boss, President Joe Biden.

“Organized Labor sets the standards for all Working People in this country,” said Curbeam, whose Teamsters Black Caucus endorsed Trump’s foe, Harris, even before the parent Union decided to stay neutral in the race between Harris and Trump.

Besides the Black Caucus, Teamsters Joint Councils in the key Swing States of Michigan, Minnesota and Pennsylvania, as well as on the entire West Coast, and the Union’s largest Local, in New York City, backed Harris.
