How could trade deals impact building unions? As far as I know, China is not making buildings and shipping them here.
If manufacturing starts coming back new facilities will need to be built and employees need houses.
Trump feels strongly about our deteriorating airports and bridges too
And then there are those pipeline and other energy projects ..
And of course - the wall
Which I always predicted would be built with union labor
Making it suicidal for democrats to obstruct
China is building all sorts of building materials and shipping them here. Without restrictive legislation and regulation many of those could be made here.
Sheetrock
Architectural panels
Concrete rebar
Steel
Many of the steel buildings being constructed are 100% made in China.
