The largest labor unions in the United States are ready for a fight. That much was made clear within hours of Donald Trump 's victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in Tuesday's election, an outcome that will soon bring to power a former president who aggressively pursued anti-worker policies during his first four years in the White House despite posturing as an ally of rank-and-file union members.
And the political war that you are stressed about right now is, at its heart, a class war.' Claude Cummings, president of the Communications Workers of America, affirmed that message in a statement following Tuesday's election, saying that 'corporate CEOs are intent on dividing us against each other so they can drive down wages and cut corners on safety to boost profits for big investors.' 'Now it is time to reunite around our shared values,' said Cummings.
