Report: Pennsylvania Union Bosses Struggling to Convince Members to Vote Against Donald Trump

https://www.breitbart.com/poli...gainst-donald-trump/

Union bosses in the swing state of Pennsylvania admit they are struggling to convince their rank-and-file members to vote against President Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election.

As Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden visited Pennsylvania this week, local reports indicate union bosses are having a difficult time convincing their members to vote against Trump this election cycle.

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports:

Union officials conceded they are concerned about whether the rank-and-file will honor those endorsements.



Likewise, union officials are asking members to put their employment ahead of other concerns they may have about the Biden-Harris ticket and fears they might support limits on gun rights.



“Like Trump said (Tuesday) night: The president has done more for America in 47 months than Biden has in 47 years,” said [Rep. Guy] Reschenthaler [R-PA], who represents Pennsylvania’s 14th Congressional District spanning Fayette, Greene, and Washington counties and parts of Westmoreland County. “At the end of the day, the rank-and-file workers will still overwhelmingly vote for President Trump.”

Biden, for years, has claimed to support the interest of America’s union workers. His record, dating back to the 1990s, has consistently been at odds with those interests, however.

In 1993 and the early 2000s, Biden vowed support for the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), China’s entering the World Trade Organization (WTO), and normalizing United States trade relations with China. The measures resulted in the U.S. losing five million manufacturing jobs and at least 50,000 manufacturing plants, destabilizing communities and putting downward pressure on wages.

Biden, as vice president, also lobbied for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade agreement which would have forced American workers to compete for jobs against workers in Vietnam and Malaysia who are paid cents for an hour’s worth of work.

In a recent interview with the New York Times, Biden’s senior economic adviser said he is focused on implementing a “new approach to globalization” of the U.S. economy.

Wall Street’s giant donations to Biden this election cycle may also be a red flag for union workers. The latest CNN analysis admitted that “all the big banks” are backing Biden’s candidacy against Trump, largely because of their opposition to the president’s tariffs on China and tightening of the labor market to force up wages for American workers.

In 2016, Trump won Pennsylvania by fewer than 45,000 votes.

I cannot imagine any union member caring at all about their leadership's endorsements or thinking that Biden will be better for their jobs.

What they're trying to do is to get President Trump to refuse any further debates and I think that's what he should do. The leftists think this is a victory for them but the reality is that debates or no, Donald Trump is on his way to a landslide victory.

Oh my gosh. Now they are going after the first lady with "secret" recordings taken out of context. These people are scum. Absolute scum. Totally out of context and this won't matter at all past them being evil.

Oh my — CNN just aired a recording of Melania Trump caught on tape saying “Give me a f.... break” in response to questions about children separated from their parents at the border.

What does it do to Trump’s campaigning with the news that Jared Kushner’s aide (Hope Hicks) has been reported to have tested positive for Covid-19.

Was she part of the group that went to the debate? They are reporting on the internet that she tested positive today. Does everyone in Donald’s travel team have to quarantine for 14 days? Does the President? Eeesh?

As of this afternoon she was completely asymptomatic (like the majority of people under 50 who test positive). This is a huge nothing burger, just like most of the 'news' about the WuFlu reported by the media.

Look at this horseshit out of Colorado.

Secretary of State Jena Griswold called for journalists to withhold vote totals because Pres. Trump may declare victory prematurely, as mail-in ballots are tallied.

They know Trump is going to win. They are just trying to sew discord,chaos, and illegitimacy into his second term. They are plotting just like they did with the Russia collusion bs.

Yes, Hicks was on Air Force One during the debate, and the day after.

Lots of things to unpack here. Trump having/not having the virus will swing the election. He can win either way.

You’re right of course. I was thinking of the ham-handed way the Democrats would try to exploit it. Seeing as they feel COVID is the only card they have left to play.

In the final calculus? I’m thinking the EC map will be close to 1984. The RNC’s ground game has been really strong.

This was inevitable. Everyone is going to be infected. The vast majority will create antibodies and move on. Masks only delay it. There is no prevention but herd immunity.

Praying for him and hope others do as well. He will be fine and maybe this will take the fear out of things a bit.

We'll hear the idots laughing at him about not wearing a mask for a few days and then he'll be back with a vengeance.

Lord God please bless and protect our President and First Lady.

Long may he live. Long may he preside.




The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC
