Why a union president crossed partisan lines for a starring role at Trump's RNC convention

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : An anti-corporate message directed at workers, but an anti-union legacy for TrumpIf there was an overriding theme in speeches at the first night of the Republican convention, which were supposed to focus on Make America Wealthy Again, it was an anti-corporate and anti-elitist message, with frequent mentions of helping workers.
50% : Vance and other Republican senators, however, oppose the Democrats' proposal to pass a nationwide law, the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, supported by labor unions including the Teamsters.
41% : Trump is, on the other hand, pushing an idea to exempt tips from taxes.
34% : Also Monday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Elon Musk, the anti-union Tesla boss who has endorsed Trump, would be showering a pro-Trump super PAC with $45 million per month in cash.
21% : He called former President Donald Trump a "tough S.O.B."O'Brien did not endorse Trump, but he leaned into the incongruity of speaking at the convention of a party that has long fought workers' ability to organize.
9% : Marginal shifts are meaningfulIn an election that may yet be decided by marginal shifts in the electorate, any movement toward Trump among union households could spell disaster for Biden, who performed better in 2020 than Hillary Clinton in 2016 among union households both nationally and in key states.
