In case you missed it, last month, Americans for Limited Government (ALG) released a follow-up white paper with new findings uncovering how labor union leaders are out of touch with their rank-and-file members who support President Donald J. Trump’s economic agenda.
Conservative influencers that support Make America Great Again (MAGA) are breaking down the findings from ALG’s latest white paper and spreading the word online, calling on union workers to hold their leadership accountable.
Here are some of the points they are making about the growing disconnect between union leadership and the millions of members who backed President Trump:
Tatyanna Coltharp on Instagram:
“Union groups have filed sixty lawsuits against the Trump administration since 2025. That’s more than four lawsuits per month, and union leaders have strongly criticized Trump’s policies. My question is this: if millions of union members supported Trump, why are their dues funding politicians opposing him?”
“If you are a union worker, it’s high time for you to start asking questions of your union leadership, and making sure they are not funneling millions of dollars—of your dollars—to individuals who are doing everything in their power to stop what you truly believe in.” Jake Campbell on X:
“Beyond just the funding, you’ve got union organizations filing sixty lawsuits against the Trump administration since 2025—a sustained organized resistance against the Trump administration. What you really have is two realities happening at the same time. On one hand—the workers themselves who have shifted politically, who are voting in a certain way to clearly signal what they want—but on the other hand, leadership controlling the money, the legal strategy, and the messaging, moving in a completely different direction.” Adam Salinas on TikTok:
“I find it hard to understand that if millions of union workers voted for Donald Trump back in 2024, how is it that their union bosses are spending workers’ dues to fight Trump’s agenda. If you ask me, this isn’t about representation anymore. This is whether union leadership is actually representing their workers at all.”
