Unions may develop heartburn this election season. Typically backing the Democrat party as the “friend of labor,” ten times more manufacturing jobs were added during the first 21 months of the Trump administration compared to the last 21 months of the Obama/Biden administration, leaving labor realists in a predicament. Biden’s commitment to the Green New Deal would strip another 200,000 jobs from the energy sector.
Although Trump did secure the backing of the National Association of Police Organizations, the Teamsters and the Pipefitters became the latest of the larger unions to endorse Biden, seemingly willing to cut off their noses to spite their faces.
