Steamfitters, steel, and police unions endorsed trump. Mostly police. Steelworkers and steamfitters were the local, not the entire org.

Oh, well cops, I should have assumed. I wonder what the reasoning behind the others were.

I believe both were about inflation (caused by Trump/Covid but they dont understand that) and immigratation (thinking illegal immigrants are taking their work - they aren't, companies who pay illegal immigrants drastically lower rates do by under bidding projects).

In short, ignorance.
