That is what I think Trump was really doing; sending a message to the entire trade union movement

Bernie Sanders: Look Beneath the Surface When Trump Attacks People
Alexandra Rosenmann
AlterNet

"To attack a local labor leader in Indianapolis who has fought valiantly for his workers to protect the jobs of his steel workers is really unbelievable," Sanders remarked, urging critics to not be fooled by appearances. "As is usually the case with Mr. Trump, there's more beneath the surface."

"That is what I think Trump was really doing; sending a message to the entire trade union movement.. 'Do not stand up and fight for working people, we're going to go after you,'" Sanders continued, adding that "We need to grow the trade union movement in America, we need to make it easier for workers to be able to engage in collective bargaining and what Trump is saying is exactly the opposite."

"More than half of the jobs are still going to be outsourced," Sanders explained, sharing Jones' frustration. "Trump told us he was going to stand up to large corporations outsourcing [jobs]. What he ended up doing in the case of United Technologies and Carrier is giving them a tax break.. Chuck Jones told the truth."

if people have not figured this out from the start,wow,Trump has been anti union for years. This A-hole is playing a stall game here in Vegas. He has been defying NLRB Federal Ruling to bargain with his Employees for months.

then it will be all over. The tax dollars for public education will go into billionaire pockets and America will get dumber than it is now.
