I’ve noticed some growing solidarity sentiments among some of my typically labor-apathetic (read: wealthy) liberal friends in the face of the base evil they perceive in Trumpism. I hope this will help to grow the labor movement and center it in mainstream leftist politics.

Paul Krugman podcast something similar to this. Negative effect to labor of Trumpian administration is just not a exception of Capitalist governing. It sounds like the old cliche.

I'm a union rep for PFSP 111, Paraeducators in a small SPED school in Oregon. Thank you! Our district is fairly well organized, my building is limping and in need of organizing. I will use your writings to give them hope and empowerment. This goes beyond us and I think giving people something they can do for some power , any power will help.

BTW, our union is over 100 years old. Can't stick around that long without the belief that unions are here to stay. We will survive, thrive and still be alive in another 100. LETS GO!!

Of course he's not pro-union. Anyone Who believed he was on the side of the unions is an IDIOT. We will hold all Trump supporters PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE when he destroys labor unions and, eventually, our entire country. Everything that is coming is your fault for not listening to us when we tried to warn you.
