If you voted for him for your own reasons fine. But to those that think he will be friendly with organized labor, you need to wake up. Talk about low information voters.
Look at his dispute with the Culinary Union in Vegas. He is doing almost exactly what BB did and what RF and Bendover are doing now. Refusing to negotiate, intimidation and courts.
On this one issue, DT is not a friend to unions. Wake up people. Our negotiations just got longer.

For the most part, you can't deny the Dem party is more labor friendly than the Repub party.
Tell that to farmers, miners, loggers, power plant operators, manufacturing jobs NAFTA, TPP, yeah really keeping jobs at home

You morons who voted Yes for the DL LOA should have your voting privileges revoked.

Where are these people demanding 1500 for bus drivers and train conductors that are involved with 1000X more accidents, injuries, and deaths?
... And the anti-hammer coilition? Cause far more people are killed with bats and hammers than guns...
