Trump stabbed labor over and over. Now he says he supports striking auto workers?

Trump’s appointees to the supreme court have shown scant sympathy toward workers and outright hostility toward unions. Remember that Neil Gorsuch once ruled that a truck driver deserved to be fired for disobeying his boss’s order and leaving his broken-down vehicle in sub-zero weather – a move that probably saved the driver’s life. It was Gorsuch who delivered the deciding vote in the 5-4 Janus v AFSCME case – the most important anti-union decision in decades. In that ruling, the court’s rightwing majority said that teachers, firefighters and other government employees couldn’t be required to pay any dues or fees to the unions that bargained for them and won raises for them.
 
Trump didn’t lift a finger to increase the federal minimum wage, which has been stuck at a pathetically low $7.25 an hour since 2009. And he certainly didn’t have workers’ backs when he scrapped Barack Obama’s move to expand overtime coverage, thereby denying 8 million workers the ability to receive time-and-a-half overtime pay.

Minimum wage is irrelevant to UAW workers.

Americans saw an average increase of $6500 wealth before the Democrat/Communist Chinese bio-attack.

He lied to them in '16 too, and it worked.

Unfortunately for him, he now has a track record to defend.

LMFAO

'Average'? So the top 1% increased income by billions, and the middle class lost money.

Average

trump's whole thing is to try to lower American workers pay, and make them more subservient to management.

On wether trump could be sympathetic to workers, "“I can’t be…and the reason I can’t be is because we are a country that is being beaten on every front, taxes too high, wages too high, we’re not going to be able to compete against the world.”

Notice he does not list management as taking too much money.
