Union members are seeing the fallacy of how globalization means fewer jobs here in the US.

Two types of union members. Some are in the private sector (UMW, UAW, Teamsters, trade unions). Some are in the government sector (SEIU, AFSCME, NEA, etc). Big difference between them.

Rank-in-file doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Rank-and-file is what they’re looking for, I think.

Every fellow union hand I know can’t stand Hillary. The union heads follow the political winds.

Private sector trade union members are incredibly strong Trump supporters. I know from firsthand experience.

As a member of Carpenters local 405 I can tell you only what I see. Hillary will not get the numbers from rank and file she needs. Yes she'll win this state but it will be by 5 or less.

Fixed.

We have free trade. Across State lines.

The rest of the world...they need to work on their own economies.

[The Public Eye]

I did some business at a large national union. I was working with upper management and I asked how they were going on this election as they usually back the Democrats, but that Donald Trump has a long history of hiring union workers on his projects.
The response I got was that he sometimes hired union and sometimes non-union and that union management was going to endorse Hillary, but they just didn’t care that much about it and didn’t have any real control of their members.
That’s pretty much what this article is saying.
