Unions rally round Harris as Trump makes populist appeal to workers

Labor unions who back Harris are keen to see continuation of Biden administration's strong record of union support

US unions have begun to rally round Vice-President Kamala Harris as Democrats and Republicans gear up for a fight over the labor vote in November.

The unions who have rallied to Harris so far are keen to see a continuation of the Biden administration's strong record of union support. Biden has been touted as the most pro-union president ever, and became the first sitting president to walk a picket line during the United Auto Workers strike last year.
