AFL-CIO president says Democrats did not listen to low-income voters struggling to make ends meet

Summary

Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign failed to connect with low-income workers due to a perceived lack of listening, according to AFL-CIO, the largest federation of labor unions in the US.

While union members largely supported Harris, many low-income voters backed Trump, swayed by his messaging on economic insecurity.

Despite Biden’s pro-labor policies, including infrastructure investments, the AFL-CIO now faces challenges under a likely Trump presidency.

AFL-CIO emphasized labor unions’ resilience and commitment to fighting rollbacks while advancing organizing efforts.

With public approval for unions at a near 60-year high, the labor movement plans both defensive and offensive strategies to protect workers.

    lol, ok.

    If you take any counter argument as condescension it’s probably a lot more about your own insecurities rather than the merits of the arguments. I would guess it’s a pattern in your life. Best of luck to you.

      You opened with condescension.

      That’s a pretty reductionist take, eh? Did it make you feel better to vent? It’s okay to vent. But also consider that you’re only seeing a small part of a larger whole.

      And then left “larger whole” dangling without definition, presumably in an attempt to bait me somehow.

      I didn’t play your game, and now you’re mad.
