The Trump campaign rented out a non-union Michigan auto parts factory to stage a rally where Donald Trump pretended to support workers’ rights, even printing signs that read “Union Members for Trump” being held by the non-union company employees.
A local journalist spotlighted the FEC filing paying Drake Enterprises $20,000 to rent its facility (and apparently its employees) in Clinton Township for the September media event during which Trump tried to downplay the historic agreement UAW members had just secured with the major US automakers–made possible by a strike which President Joe Biden himself participated in. “Your current negotiations don’t mean as much as you think,” Trump said of the union efforts.
