How&#x27;s that going to work out, in reality?<p>(Please note that I&#x27;m not a Trump supporter. I&#x27;m simply interested in accurately predicting the future, because I do not believe that you can prevent a dystopian outcome from occurring by being silent about the danger or its likelihood.)<p>A significant proportion of union membership loves Trump and is actively voting for him in this election. The exact proportion varies according to the union. I could not find an exact statistic, but I found the following illuminating nonetheless: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.politico.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;2020&#x2F;09&#x2F;22&#x2F;donald-trump-union-support-snub-joe-biden-418329" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.politico.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;2020&#x2F;09&#x2F;22&#x2F;donald-trump-union-...</a><p>Furthermore, union membership is only 10% of the workforce. This is according to figures reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics:<p><i>&quot;In 2019, the percent of wage and salary workers who were members of unions--the union membership rate--was 10.3 percent, down by 0.2 percentage point from 2018, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The number of wage and salary workers belonging to unions, at 14.6 million in 2019, was little changed from 2018. In 1983, the first year for which comparable union data are available, the union membership rate was 20.1 percent and there were 17.7 million union workers.&quot;</i><p>Source: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bls.gov&#x2F;news.release&#x2F;union2.nr0.htm" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bls.gov&#x2F;news.release&#x2F;union2.nr0.htm</a>
