What industrial unions like Trump? Some random blue collar workers might like him but he's been terrible for them once you get away from the rhetoric.

What industrial unions like Trump? Some random blue collar workers might like him but he's been terrible for them once you get away from the rhetoric.
- SlowRobotAhead 8y agoSo rhetoric aside, what has Trump’s admin done to them?
- Latteland 8y agoHurt their economic interests by taxing them via tariffs and hurt their manufacturing companies by making raw materials and steel etc more expensive. That why Harley moved production OUT of the us to where it wouldn't be affected by retaliatory tariffs against Trump's tariffs.
- SlowRobotAhead 8y agoOk, so all rhetoric then. Got it.
- Latteland 8y agoLoss of heavy manufacturing jobs because of higher steel prices because of tarrifs leading to higher prices to end users, thus manufacturing companies move production overseas to produce them without tariff priced steel and keeping prices lower is just what has happened. The secondary cause was retailatory tariffs on us exports causing prices to go higher on exports twice (once to tariff imported steel before manufacturing, second tariff when importing into xhina). So how is this political rhetoric? Remove tariffs on both ends and we are better off.
