Unions did financially support the Civil rights movement in the 60s-heavily as far as I know ?Unions are not really creatures of the left. The fact that a very sizeable portion of union members in this country are Trumpists tells you that much. It's fine to want unions on economic grounds, but they aren't going to be leaders of any unified left until they can distance themselves from their racist not-so-past. And given the extent of Trumpism support in the rank and file, I'm not seeing that happening any time soon.
