Democrats have faced several uphill battles with labor unions at the state and national level in 2023, something that Donald Trump is hoping will sway blue-collar workers to his campaign in the 2024 election.
Unions came out of the 2022 midterm elections with a sense of security, particularly after the pro-union Biden administration and Democrats were able to maintain the Senate and give Republicans a slim majority in the House. However, union-busting efforts and lengthy contract negotiations have made unions wary of whether Democrats deserve their support in the next election cycle.Most recently, Democrats are facing a new challenge out of California.
At the national level, President Joe Biden has worked to gain back the trust of labor unions following several high-profile union disputes that had the power to cripple the economy. Late last year, Biden and Congress passed the Railway Labor Act to avert a railroad worker strike. Several unions rejected the deal, as it did not meet their demands for paid sick leave, and they said the president had abandoned them in the interest of big business.
UAW President Shawn Fain has called on Biden and Washington, D.C., lawmakers to amend federal incentives in Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS and Science Act, and other spending legislation to wage and safety standards at all auto factories. Otherwise, unionized auto workers could be walking off the job in September — placing Biden at a crossroads: maintain support from unions, or advance his green energy agenda.
This could have a significant effect on Biden's chances in 2024, especially if Republican candidates like Trump can secure UAW's endorsement. The former president appealed to the union in a video released in late July, saying only his presidency could save the auto industry from Biden’s “ridiculous Green New Deal crusade.”
