Matt Patterson, Executive Director of the Center for Worker Freedom, was quoted in an article published in The Washington Examiner on September 26, 2016, about how union leaders are trying to end support for Trump among their members:

Matt Patterson, executive director of the conservative Center for Worker

Freedom, said Democrats overall and the Clintons in particular have a history

of support for trade and immigration policies that have hurt domestic

manufacturing and driven down wages, key issues for unions. The GOP's

support for similar policies has made that a non-issue in the past, but Trump

has broken from that orthdoxy.

"Both in terms of policy and style, I think union leaders are terrified of Trump's

appeal to their members," Patterson said.

Trump has a long, complicated relationship with unions, having dealt with

them extensively as a casino and real estate developer. He's also a union man

himself, having joined the Screen Actors Guild during his numerous

appearances in TV and movies.

He has praised unions in the past. In his 2000 book The America We Deserve, he

said, "Is Trump a union man? Let me tell you this: Unions still have a place in

American society. In fact, with the globalization craze in full heat, unions are

about the only force reminding us to remember the American family."
