AFL-CIO said unions spoke to most voters in federation history and saw gains such as minimum wage raises
A majority of union members voted for Kamala Harris in Tuesday’s election, outpacing 2020 numbers. It didn’t stop Donald Trump from securing the presidency.
“Harris is outperforming 2020 numbers with union members, according to AP Votecast exit data. She’s up 57-39, which tracks with our internal data. Union voters turned out for Harris, that much is crystal clear,” posted Steve Smith, deputy director of public affairs at the largest federation of unions in the US, AFL-CIO, on X.
