What can we do to turn around decades of union decline? This is the key challenge of our era, because the power of a revitalized labor movement is needed to pull America off its descent into oligarchy and authoritarianism. There are no easy answers, which is why I welcome the responses of union organizer Peter Olney, Labor Notes co-founder Jane Slaughter, and labor scholar Ben Fong to my new bookWe Are the Union: How Worker-to-Worker Organizing is Revitalizing Labor and Winning Big.

To turn around its decline and build enough power to defeat Trumpism, organized labor needs, among other things, a vigorous culture of debate.

Even if Donald Trump’s trade policies bring factories back to the United States, workers need unions to make those jobs well-paying and safe — and Trump has been the most anti-union president in years. President Donald Trump and his defenders claim that his recent tariffs will usher in “a new Golden Age of American industrialization and prosperity.” As the president put it, “Tariffs are not just about protecting American jobs.

Trump and Musk are actively trying to destroy unions When will organized labor start fighting back accordingly?
Though Trump backed down from his steepest tariffs (China excepted), worth noting that the 10% baseline tariff he's maintaining everywhere else is actually pretty steep by historical standards https://t.co/6kZ9e8Rqzf
