Union Workers Say “It’s A Direct Attack On The Working Class,” ‘Turn on Trump Tariffs’

Hugh Cameron at Newsweek reports a Union representing West Coast Dock Workers has decried President Donald Trump's tariffs as a "direct attack on the Working Class" and said the duties have already begun to damage critical sectors of the U.S. economy. There is growing dissent among the Trade Sectors likely to feel the impacts of Trump’s drastic policies when it comes to import taxes and rising prices, with the Logistics Sector the latest to claim that the tariffs will wreak havoc on their industry and the economy at large. "We demand fair trade policies that put Working Class Americans first, protect jobs and reduce taxes on the American People, not trade policies dictated by a President's whims," the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) said. "The ILWU stands strong in the fight for fair trade policies that protect American Workers and sustain economic growth. We refuse to accept policies that destroy jobs, inflate costs and sell out the Working Class. We call on every Worker, Union and person who believes in economic justice to stand with us against these Trump tariffs."
