Dec. 18, 2025, Fairfax, Va.—A chorus of conservative content creators are sharing a new whitepaper from Americans for Limited Government (ALG) that shows the stark disconnect between labor union bosses and the workers they claim to represent. In fact, unions, like the Teamsters and others, are promoting a narrow agenda that ignores the real concerns of workers.
The report shows that while President Donald Trump captured the vote of millions of working-class Americans with the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement, leaders of the nation’s biggest labor unions have actively worked against the president and his MAGA agenda.
What conservative voices are saying about the new findings from ALG:
Dave Bondy on TikTok: “I have been looking at a new report from Americans for Limited Government about how union leadership is using member dues. The group says a significant amount of that money is being directed towards political activity that many everyday workers, just like many of you watching this, may not even realize they are funding.”
April Silverman on Instagram: “Look, most people don’t know this, but union bosses are using worker’s money to attack the very candidate most of their members support, and it needs to be said plainly… Some unions are even bankrolling lawfare against [President Trump].”
Ruohan Ding on TikTok: “A devastating report by Americans for Limited Government details how the leaders of the nation’s biggest workers unions, whose members include a large number of Trump supporters, have been channeling vast amounts of union funds collected by mandatory members fees to support Democrats in orchestrating these political efforts aimed at taking down Trump.”
Ivory Hecker on Facebook: “Union workers used to be solidly Democrat, but in the past decade, Trump has successfully shifted a ton of these union workers over to the Republican party. Now, there is a huge disconnect between the workers themselves, who have no choice but to pay dues, and the bosses in charge of those unions who are using their dues against Trump.”
Jeffrey McGlothin on Instagram: “Remember in 2024 when union workers overwhelming supported Donald Trump, but the unions themselves wouldn’t make an endorsement? … Americans for Limited Government were able to uncover that over 90% of political contributions from unions go to people that oppose Donald Trump. Weird, I thought unions were supposed to support the workers?”
Brett Moore on Facebook: “Union leaders are funneling money into fights that are again lowering taxes, energy independence, and strong American jobs. That’s not representation. That’s straight up abuse. Millions of union members supported President Trump because of his policies that helped working Americans. But now the same union bosses are using your dues to silence your voice and undermine the very agenda you voted for.”
