“The Republican Party’s recent pro-UNION-worker turn...The Republican party has always been pro-WORKER”

That is an important distinction. Unions use economic warfare to drive up wages. However, in driving up wages, they drive down employment. Is that good for workers?

The only down moment last night was the Teamster thug spouting union propaganda. The Big Lie is that unions are pro-worker. They are for using political and physical force to distort the free market, to the economic disadvantage of non-union workers. Their work rules reduce productivity, which makes everybody poorer.

The existence of unions requires heavy handed government action to carve out an exemption to antitrust laws, making unions a legal conspiracy to restrain trade.

Acting against market concentrations of power is a separate matter and is ideal for Trump’s philosophy, but not with the mob.
