When a politicized NLRB puts unions over workers, how do we restore fairness?
By fixing the problem at its source.
Thanks to @POTUS, it’s a New Day at the NLRB — a pro‑worker realignment that protects secret‑ballot elections, free speech, and due process.
Op-ed: Ironically, the Faster Labor Contracts Act undermines the very worker empowerment its supporters claim to champion. Under its compulsory arbitration, decisions are made by outsiders who know little about the preferences of employees and certainly don’t stand in their shoes. Workers could find themselves bound by compensation systems, scheduling arrangements, and other workplace conditions they don’t support but can’t reject.

ICYMI: @USWorkersFirst's report highlights the disconnect between union members and leadership.
🔹 43% of union members supported Trump
🔹 45% of union households voted for Trump
Yet union bosses continue pouring nearly all of their political spending into Democrats. 👇
To no one’s surprise, union bosses have grown increasingly disconnected from the workers they claim to represent.
@USWorkersFirst's newest report highlights the growing gap between union leadership’s political agenda and the values of American workers.
@USWorkersFirst: "The same leadership funneling member dues into Democratic campaigns is now pushing a law that would let government arbitrators impose contracts those members never got to vote on. The money flows in one direction, and the FLCA ensures the power does too."
The Faster Labor Contracts Act Is a Backdoor for Union Leadership's Political Agenda

Despite union leadership overwhelmingly opposing him, @POTUS has enacted several policies benefiting union workers:
🔹 $12,500 deduction for overtime pay
🔹 $25,000 tax deduction for tipped wages
🔹 Auto loan deduction for Made-in-America cars
In 2024, 45% of union households supported President Trump.
Yet @USWorkersFirst found that 94.8% of political spending from 10 of the nation’s largest unions went toward opposing him — exposing a massive disconnect between union members and union leadership.
45% of union households voted for Trump in 2024.
94.8% of their dues went to oppose him.
That's not a gap. That's a betrayal.

New from @UsWorkersFirst "#FLCA's backers won't say out loud: mandatory arbitration doesn't just remove workers from the ratification process, it removes union leadership from the obligation to bargain in good faith."
Union leaders at CWA, SEIU, and AFL-CIO send nearly 100% of political spending to Democrats — then push a law letting government bureaucrats impose contracts workers never voted on.
The FLCA isn't worker protection.
It's a power grab.

"The image of workers united against an indifferent employer is woven into the fabric of how this country thinks about labor...What's gotten buried under it is a separate question of whether the tactics union leadership uses today actually deliver for the workers paying the dues.
Short-Term Gains, Long-Term Harm: The Real Cost of Union Monopoly Power @USWorkersFirst w/ @Mercatus
The gap between what workers want and what union leadership delivers isn't an accident.
It's what monopoly structures produce when accountability is designed out of the system.

Unions won the 40-hour workweek. They built the American middle class. That history is real.
But a review of 147 peer-reviewed studies from @Mercatus found that more union power does NOT reliably produce better outcomes for workers.
In many cases, it produces worse ones. 🧵
The kicker? When researchers ask workers what they want, they say:
✅ Cooperative unions over adversarial ones
✅ Multiple representation options over monopoly control
❌ Political activity makes them less favorable toward unions
❌ Strikes make them less favorable toward unions
When I predicted that Trump would win every swing state in October 2024 on national television, MK’s argument here around rank-and-file union members fleeing the Democratic Party was almost completely the basis around that prediction (and Kamala being a profoundly horrible candidate, of course)
