Trump's mix of high tariffs and union-busting won't deliver higher wages or new manufacturing jobs for American workers - it will just increase profits for corporations.

I wrote about labor unions and American democracy for EPI with @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social & @jamiemccallum.bsky.social.
Here's our new post on unions' defense of ballot drop boxes:

Figure A of the linked report showing a map of counties in the United States and the number of ballot boxes per 100,000 county residents
A screenshot of the key findings of the linked report in bullet point form
Counties with higher union membership rates were more likely to have ballot drop boxes in the 2022 midterm elections
Cool study by @adamdean.bsky.social @jamiemccallum.bsky.social @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social

@jbouie.bsky.social:
“Republicans...know that organized labor is a key obstacle to dismantling the social safety net. The question is whether Democrats understand that their fortunes are also bound up in the fate of workers.”
EPI report finds that unions defend democracy, too:

Worried about voting rights and the 2024 election?
Labor unions are vital to defend ballot drop boxes and voting access.
1 point ⬆️ union density ➡️ 9.8% ⬆️ drop boxes.
