Is Don Trump Pro or Anti Unions?

Seems he is anti union by shipping some of his business over seas, then he says he will end the cheap China trade which might mean he is pro United States Labor, but is it Union labor?

After all, the biggest cost of most business is labor.

    Trumps ability to operate for decades in New York City while using the local unions indicates to me Trump is NOT anti-Union.

    Trump is pro-employee. A quick read indicates Unions are backing Cliton / Democrats but many Union Members will vote Trump, maybe the majority.

    Folks need jobs.

    Has he been asked?

    Just because a businessman has to do business with unions in NY does not make him pro union any more than a person that is required by law to join a union for their job is pro union. It's just what you have to do.

    Nor do I see a business moving jobs offshore as anti union, at least NOT to the point that the Government agencies are. EPA,OSHA, EEOC, ETC by passing laws on their own causing compliance cost to increase (a non productive expense) as well as making it more difficult to do business domestically . There agencies all operate under the blessing of the Democrat party.

    Trump is a businessman...period....I have know several developers that had Union Crews as well as non Union crews,its all about what you need to do to satisfy the trades...If your doing business with a muni , most of the time it will require a Building Trades Union....on non union jobs,you can trim the cost with using non union crews...

    He is amateur at best on any issue.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    I hope neither. You can't have a locked in position on everything. The ability to flex depending on circumstance is far better than pounding every ant with a hammer.
