I believe both were about inflation (caused by Trump/Covid but they dont understand that) and immigratation (thinking illegal immigrants are taking their work - they aren’t, companies who pay illegal immigrants drastically lower rates do by under bidding projects).
I’m not sure a single union endorsed Trump.
Steamfitters, steel, and police unions endorsed trump. Mostly police. Steelworkers and steamfitters were the local, not the entire org.
Oh, well cops, I should have assumed. I wonder what the reasoning behind the others were.

In short, ignorance.
The Teamsters president didn’t endorse anyone, but spoke at the RNC. That’s likely the reason they got a reasonable Labor Secretary.
