Generally speaking workers in the USA are anti-union. Or at least see them with suspicion. They are widely perceived as a waste of money on dues and just plain kinda unpleasant to deal with. This isn't true for all types. Like welders and pipe fitters tend to like unions, but by and large if unions don't exist it is because nobody (including the workers) wants them. They also don't really like what they perceive as "leftists" either. They much more strongly prefer to identify with somebody like Trump then somebody writing for a Marxist online website. There are exceptions to this, of course. Like if you live in a large city, especially predominately "Blue" area you are going to see a lot of people running around trying to advocate for unions and such things. But that isn't normal for the rest of the country. There is a lot of literature spent discussing this sort of thing... Why American workers are largely very conservative. Back in the 1960/70s when student groups went around in working class areas of the country and tried to organize labor... a lot of them ended up hospitals as a result of their efforts. This is why Marxists don't go around making murals about the greatness of the working men anymore.
