For all his promises to deliver for US workers, Trump's political agenda poses an existential threat to organized labor. Project 2025's planned assault on the National Labor Relations Board, which governs collective bargaining in the private sector, for instance, could put a screeching halt to unionization efforts across the country. "A potential Republican trifecta, along with Project 2025, will be catastrophic for unions, including my own," Jimmy Williams, general president of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT), said in an official statement released after Trump’s electoral victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. In this special installment of The Real News Network podcast, produced in collaboration with In These Times magazine, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with Williams about the threat Trump's agenda poses to organized labor, and why now more than ever the Democratic party has to embrace working class positions.
