Nick Mordowanec at Newsweek reports Labor Unions like the Teamsters "wholeheartedly support" efforts by the Federal Government to bring a more robust Manufacturing Industry to the U.S., but this will not dissuade Workers from organizing for respectable wages and benefits. The Trump Administration aspires to a Golden Age of manufacturing, which it has attempted by enforcing tariffs on nations and products worldwide. Critics warn that aspects like automation, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blips in the global supply chain make such goals enviable but unrealistic in the long term. A more granular concern revolves around where manufacturing booms would take place within the U.S., especially in Southern Right-To-Work (for less) States that have seen development and companies relocating to invest in recent months and years. Those States have typically been more averse to encouraging Union participation and contracts. Teamster Spokesperson Kara Deniz told Newsweek: "We've seen action towards creating more jobs in the United States and that is something that our Union wholeheartedly supports. We can't organize jobs in China or in other countries and there's no chance of organizing jobs that are not here in the United States. If there's a case where there's job creation in non-Right-To-Work States, that's fantastic. If there are jobs that are created by companies going to Right-To-Work States or places like the South, the way we see it is we've had a track record of success in organizing and we're going to continue to have that."
