Unions bet big on Kamala Harris. Now they're bracing for consequences
Harris campaign and its affiliated political action committees, few economic or political sectors placed larger bets than organized labor on Vice President Kamala Harris winning the presidency.
And few might reap more consequences from the incoming Trump administration. For public-sector unions that represent government workers, the threat is institutional and existential: Top advisers to President-elect Donald Trump want to eliminate them outright.
For service industry unions that represent hotel and restaurant workers, the threats may be to the members themselves: vulnerable and low-paid workers, often immigrants, who could be swept up in Trump's promised mass deportations.
And for the leadership of the old-line industrial unions, the threat is from their members, many of whom ignored the pleadings of their leadership and voted for Trump.
«We do understand we have issues that are confronting us, major issues,» said Lee Saunders, chair of the AFL-CIO's political committee and president of the 1.6-million-strong American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. «This is going to impact the entire labor movement.»
