Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) on Monday accused President Donald Trump of undercutting his pro-worker messaging by weakening labor protections and relying on non-union labor and foreign materials in a White House construction project.
Slotkin Blasts Trump Over Labor Record
In a post on X, Slotkin said Trump "talks a big game about supporting labor" but has "gutted the NLRB" and appointed officials "who are proudly anti-labor."
She referred to the National Labor Relations Board, the federal agency that enforces workers’ rights to organize and bargain collectively.
Slotkin also pointed to a ballroom project near the White House, saying it was being built "without union labor, and with foreign steel."
