Any hope that Trump had of getting endorsements from labor quickly evaporated, as unions are supporting Vice President Kamala Harris.
Here is the list of Labor endorsements for Harris:
American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO): âFrom day one, Vice President Kamala Harris has been a true partner in leading the most pro-labor administration in history⦠At every step in her distinguished career in public office, sheâs proven herself a principled and tenacious fighter for working people and a visionary leader we can count on. From taking on Wall Street and corporate greed to leading efforts to expand affordable child care and support vulnerable workers, sheâs shown time and again that sheâs on our side. With Kamala Harris in the White House, together weâll continue to build on the powerful legacy of the Biden-Harris administration to create good union jobs, grow the labor movement and make our economy work for all of us.â
American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees (AFSCME):Â âVice President Harris is exactly the right person to meet the moment. She will fight to save American democracy, and she will carry a pro-worker message across the country, making the case that Trumpâs Project 2025 would do lasting damage to working people, the economy and our nation.
âThis is an inspiring and historic candidacy. Vice President Harris has been cracking the glass ceiling her whole career â now she has the opportunity to become the first woman and the first woman of color to hold the highest office in the land. And AFSCME will help her get there.
âWe are all in for Kamala Harris. From today until November 5, we will mobilize in communities nationwide, turning out the vote and moving mountains to make Kamala Harris the 47th president of the United States.â

International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW): âVice President Harris has been a proven ally of the IBEW. Working by President Bidenâs side, she cast the deciding vote to save our pensions. Their administration created good union jobs through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the American Rescue Act, the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS and Science Act. ⦠IBEW members know Vice President Harris and have engaged with her over the last four years as sheâs visited our job sites, union halls and training facilities. She has listened to us, and we stand confident that she will continue this administrationâs extraordinary record on behalf of working people when she is sworn into office next January.â

She brings decades of public service fighting for workers across industries.
United Farm Workers:Â The United Farm Workers is proud to endorse VP Kamala Harris for President. Dime con quien andas, y te digo quien eres.

She has always shown up for our members, whether it was during her time representing California in the U.S. Senate or as part of the most pro-union administration in modern American history, Vice President Harris has workersâ backs.
Donald Trump criticized the president of the United Auto Workers during his nomination acceptance speech because he is still upset that they didn’t endorse him.
Labor is not going to be fooled by Trump and sales pitch when his policies make him one of the most anti-labor presidents in US history. The Democratic coalition is rallying around Kamala Harris to take the fight to Donald Trump.
