Trump’s Policies Make Democrats Best for Workers | David Madland and Aurelia Glass
Democrats say tariffs, tax cuts and benefit reductions have squeezed workers as the share of national income going to labor falls to a record low, researchers said.
- On Wednesday, September 2, the House of Representatives passed the Faster Labor Contracts Act to simplify unionization, but the Republican-controlled Senate is unlikely to vote on it after only 20 Republicans joined Democrats in supporting the measure.
- The Trump administration and Republican-led Congress enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act , which cut taxes for the 1 percent by $1 trillion while eliminating overtime eligibility for workers earning below $58,656 annually.
- Meanwhile, Americans are spending 30 percent more on gas—an extra $1 per gallon—since the war in Iran began, while the share of national income going to workers reached its lowest level since 1947.
- The administration's chaotic tariff strategy has caused the United States to lose manufacturing jobs since "Liberation Day," with research indicating these policies are driving consumer prices higher across the economy.
- While Democrats advocate for pro-worker policies, voters are increasingly skeptical that policymakers can deliver, as the party has failed to strengthen union rights or raise the federal minimum wage in decades.
