Full Episode
We are hearing a lot of stories like this and credit to More Perfect Union for capturing this one of these Trump voters who are either deeply regretting the vote that they made now that they're seeing their union rights absolutely gutted or. I'm just feeling very concerned and alarmed right now and really don't know what to do, feeling betrayed and confused. I just want to share this with you.

I love the people that I interact with, you know, because I'm a people person. People think it's a benign job, but it's an important job. If I have any suspicion at all, I check that bag because lives are at stake. It's not just a bag. That bag represents a life. What this current administration has done, and they literally took away our bargaining rights.
We signed a seven-year contract in good faith. They think the union's a bad thing. We're not telling them how to do their job. We're just making our life more comfortable, and they can concentrate on the security of people.
