A new poll reveals that Americans continue to support organized labor at historic levels, even as the Trump administration and its Republican allies in Congress take a battering ram to union rights and the nation's working class.

Gallup's annual survey, released Thursday, shows more than two-thirds of people in the US (68%) approve of labor unions and the economic security and prosperity they provide working families. The popular support matches record-high numbers of recent years after a long decline from the 1960s through the early 2000s.

Are the workers turning to unions the same ones voting for Trump? I wonder how many people are in both groups without realizing there's a conflict there.

Not really a conflict both parties are antiworker.

Bernie has it right too bad the dems wont ever learn.

Also fun fact for the vote blue no matter who folks: the article you didnt read also talks about how both parties are antiworker.
