We’re Voting for the Pro-Labor Candidates!
Presidential Candidates: Looking at the Facts
In the labor movement, we look at politicians’ records and back candidates who will work to create good union jobs for our families and communities. We support candidates who will protect our contracts and advance union rights. This November, we are calling on all our union brothers and sisters to reject the divisive anti-union record of Donald Trump and J.D. Vance and stand together in support of Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz.

Vice President Harris has been a true partner of President Joe Biden in leading the most pro-union administration in history. Kamala Harris is a champion of worker organizing and strong unions. In the Senate, Harris strongly supported the Protecting the Right to Organize Act. Vice President Kamala Harris has played a key role in rebuilding our nation’s crumbling infrastructure, investing in good-paying union jobs, expanding apprenticeship programs, bringing manufacturing back to the USA and saving worker pensions. Under her leadership, we can build on the pro-worker legacy of the Biden-Harris administration to create good union jobs and provide meaningful economic opportunity to all workers.
In contrast, Donald Trump has refused to pay hundreds of workers for performed work and boasts about firing workers for exercising their lawful right to strike. If elected, Trump would once again stack the federal agencies that exist to protect workers with union-busting corporatists and anti-union extremists. He would strip funding for workplace health and safety, and do everything in his power to take away workers’ voices on the job—just like he did in his first term. That would mean weaker union contracts, lower pay and fewer benefits for workers, all so bosses and Trump donors can get richer. As Vice President, J.D. Vance would be fully engaged in helping Trump roll back decades of worker gains.
