Trump cuts are harming my union
Makeba, a union representative with the Washington Baltimore News Guild (WBNG), explains that the Trump administration abruptly canceled many contracts, leading to a wave of layoffs. This not only reduced union membership but also resulted in hundreds of job losses with little notice. Makeba and the union are now fighting to ensure that former workers at least receive the benefits outlined in their contracts. However, she notes that there’s been resistance to honoring even those basic terms.
