Project 2025 and unions [1]
[]
Date: 2025-02-19
Project 2025, an alarming 920-page document from a group of Donald Trump allies, reveals an anti-worker, anti-democracy blueprint for a second Trump administration. A CNN review found that over 140 people from the former Trump administration are involved in the project.
Project 2025 is composed of four parts : a policy guide for the administration, a database of loyalists who could serve in a Trump administration, training for loyalist personnel, and a set of actions to be taken within the first 180 days in office.
Project 2025 would have a disastrous negative impact on our wages, rights at work, and union contracts.
Project 2025 includes proposals to:
Make it easier for employers to get rid of workers’ unions in the middle of our contracts [1].
Ban public employee unions [2].
End Project Labor Agreements and Prevailing Wage requirements [3].
Allow states to ban labor unions, eliminate overtime protections [4], and choose not to follow the national minimum wage [5].
[4], and choose not to follow the national minimum wage [5]. Eliminate the child labor rules that protect children from working in mines, meatpacking plants, and other dangerous workplaces [6].
Make it illegal for employers to voluntarily recognize unions [7].
Allow companies to create their own sham company unions [8].
Replace civil servants with political appointees loyal to Trump [9].
Cut funding for job training and employment assistance for workers whose jobs were sent overseas due to international trade [10].
