In the video above, I enter more detail on Trump’s plans to harm American workers. Please give him a watch.
Donald Trump was born rich. Donald Trump has never worked one day for someone who did not have Trump’s family name. The current president is the most detached person in the actual experience of workers to occupy the oval office in modern history.
Trump also holds workers in the greatest contempt, and as president, his program in his two terms was a stightly anti-workman, not just an anti-union, but an anti-workman. Trump hurts workers whether or not they belong to a union.
The Trump administration will deploy 60 rules of rules after labor festival, which will be devastating for millions of American workers.
Trump will end overtime and minimum wage protection for 3.7 million home health workers. The Obama administration has closed a gap in the law on fair labor standards which had refused health workers at home the protections of the minimum wage and overtime. Trump will reverse this rule, with the deadline for public comments at the Ministry of Labor being September 2.
The Biden Administration submitted a rule of rule to the Ministry of Labor which would have ended the national level the capacity of companies to request a derogation to pay the disabled workers less than the minimum wage. Trump reverses this rule, and the result will be that some disabled workers can earn as little as $ 4 / hour.
The Trump administration also plans to weaken mine safety standards and the construction of labor safety standards. Trump also intends to weaken occupational safety inspections and penalties for violations.
An error that Democrats often make is to limit conversations on workers and their rights to unions. The unionization of the private sector fell to 5.9% in 2024. When Democrats limit the conversation on workers’ rights to the ability to join a union, they ignore almost 94% of workers who are not unionized.
Workers’ rights are more than union rights. All workers must have a minimum wage and safe workplaces. Democrats must extend their conversation to connect problems that matter to all workers, such as better wages, better access to health care, lower health insurance costs and the protection and expansion of Social Security under the aegis of the fundamental rights of each American worker, whether they are a union or not.
These are problems that count for each worker. Trump’s assault on workers is not limited to unions. Trump is a threat to workers’ wages and safety at work, both a union and a non-syndical.
Having A pro-workman president counts. The Americans are about to discover how vital it is in the coming days.
