‘A Nightmare Scenario For Unions & Their Members’ - A Second Trump Term ‘Could Be Disastrous For Organizing Labor’
Chris Bohner of In These Times reports a Trump election has the potential to break Organized Labor as we know it. He writes: There are reasons to think an Anti-Labor Trump term would be worse. With Labor mostly fighting defensive fights and Labor Law eviscerated, it would be exceedingly difficult to organize new Workers to keep up with employment increases, putting further downward pressure on Union Density. Like in the President Reagan era, Unionized employers would be emboldened to tear up the tenuous Labor-Management accord, challenging Unions with concessions and decerts. If Trump were to outlaw Public Sector Unions - a plank of Project 2025 - that would eliminate seven million (!) Dues-Paying Members, on top of the sharp declines in Unionized Private Sector Workers. This nightmare scenario would effectively transport the Labor Movement back to the Gilded Age of the 19th Century.
