The Trump Project 2025 agenda would eviscerate unions, decimate our freedoms and crater our progress. Make no mistake, unions are on the line this election. Trump and MAGA politicians are behind the Project 2025 agenda because they want no checks and balances on corporate greed. 

They want the wealthy and well-connected to control every aspect of our economy and our lives. And they certainly don’t want unions to stand in their way. That’s why this is the most consequential election in our lifetime. 

Talking Points

Project 2025 is the 920-page document by Donald Trump and his allies that spells out what they plan to do during a Trump second term.

We broke it down for you: How would this agenda affect union members and working families?

Project 2025 includes proposals to:

  • Make it easier for employers to get rid of workers’ unions in the middle of our contracts.

  • Ban all public employee unions.

  • Allow states to ban labor unions, eliminate overtime protections and choose not to follow the national minimum wage.

  • Even eliminate the child labor rules that protect children from working in mines, meatpacking plants and other dangerous workplaces.

We are deeply concerned about pro-corporate policies that would drive up costs, put people out of work, endanger people’s lives and make it harder for working people to get ahead. For unions, this agenda would make it tougher for members to win gains in our next contracts and stack the deck in favor of CEOs.  

That’s why we’re fighting to elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Both Vice President Harris and Governor Walz have proven track records of championing policies that strengthen unions, protect our freedoms and build on our progress.
