New poll puts the support level at around 60%….
Trump’s Business side at around 40% or so….
This while Trump & Co. ARE working against Federal Unionised emplyee’s and their jobs….
The popularity of labor unions surged over the past decade, while American sentiment toward big business has fallen, according to new data published by the liberal Economic Policy Institute.
Why it matters: The approval switcheroo helps explain, in part, why the Republican Party has been courting labor unions in recent years.
Zoom in: For the past 60 years, American National Election Studies has been surveying Americans, asking them to rate their feelings toward labor unions and big business.
- Up until 2012, sentiment moved together, but in the recovery from the Global Financial Crisis things changed.
Zoom out: After the pandemic, public support for labor unions and workers increased even more.
- At the same time, increasing populism meant less support for businesses, even from Republicans who typically support their interests.
The bottom line: Americans are more likely to support unions than big companies by the widest margin in 60 years….
Big deal.
Union membership is at its lowest level ever at just below 10%.
Another meaningless statistic that you make ballyhoo.
So unions should accept the beating and say nothing?
The OVERALL SUPPORT IS for them…..
Again?
Like other things?
Trump and his minions want to go BACK TO the Good ole days……
Next President , who WILL BE a Democrat, is gonna have his work cut out for him
Uninformed tripe from you.
Union membership has been declining for years under both Democratic and Republican administrations.
The problem is that manufacturing and trades have been declining in this country for a number of years now and such was where Union membership was concentrated.
Post in moderation
The decline very well IS…..
Again?
Unionn’s and their supporters should NOT go silent…
With a decline in waht you say?
People STILL have to spend MORE money to put food on the table….
Of course?
People could move top DSouthern and Wester states where they can make $1.50 a hour, eh?
Inane and irrelevant to my post.
Unsurprising though.
The fight by unions IS for those there NOW
He, he, he….
Donald thinks American companies are just gonna magically bring ALL that manufacturing BACK!
Yup!…
Get RID of unions so people can take pay CUTS
And MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
