“Late last night, Donald Trump continued his campaign against workers, their families, and their financial well-being. In his executive order, he outlawed collective bargaining for more than a million federal workers, stripping them of their ability to negotiate fair wages, fair workplace treatment, and fair working hours. We have unions to thank for weekends and reasonable working hours, and for decades, they have stopped employers from taking advantage of working people. So it is no surprise that Donald Trump, who has spent his career cheating and stealing his way to success at the expense of his workers, is attacking the right to organize. 

“Donald Trump is the most anti-worker president I’ve seen in my lifetime. Much like his plan to rob from the poor and middle-class to give tax handouts to the top one percent of the top one percent, he’s also stealing power from the American working family and consolidating it in the hands of his ultra-elite crook buddies. 

“Trump isn’t just corrupt – he’s a corrupt union-buster. He talks a big game about wanting a new golden age, but if that were truly the case, why would he be so insistent on taking us back to the Dark Ages?

“Democrats will hold our ground and fight for working-class families because we stand with the people who have built this country. We stand in solidarity with unions. I know Trump is incapable of feeling shame – but he should be ashamed.”
