Project 2025 and unions

Project 2025, an alarming 920-page document from a group of Donald Trump allies, reveals an anti-worker, anti-democracy blueprint for a second Trump administration. A CNN review found that over 140 people from the former Trump administration are involved in the project.
 

Project 2025 is composed of four parts: a policy guide for the administration, a database of loyalists who could serve in a Trump administration, training for loyalist personnel, and a set of actions to be taken within the first 180 days in office.

Project 2025 would have a disastrous negative impact on our wages, rights at work, and union contracts.

Project 2025 includes proposals to:

• Make it easier for employers to get rid of workers’ unions in the middle of our contracts [1].
• Ban public employee unions [2].
• End Project Labor Agreements and Prevailing Wage requirements [3].
• Allow states to ban labor unions, eliminate overtime protections [4], and choose not to follow the national minimum wage [5].
• Eliminate the child labor rules that protect children from working in mines, meatpacking plants, and other dangerous workplaces [6].
• Make it illegal for employers to voluntarily recognize unions [7].
• Allow companies to create their own sham company unions [8].
• Replace civil servants with political appointees loyal to Trump [9].
• Cut funding for job training and employment assistance for workers whose jobs were sent overseas due to international trade [10].

The AFL-CIO has launched a website to expose the details of the Trump Project 2025 Agenda and how it relates to union members. Visit https://betterinaunion.org/project-2025 to learn more about this well-funded and extremist plan to upend our workplaces and overhaul our democratic institutions.
