      Steamfitters, steel, and police unions endorsed trump. Mostly police. Steelworkers and steamfitters were the local, not the entire org.

          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).

          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.
