Hadley McGhee Trump Kicks off Labor Day by Slamming Union Leader

At 10:28 this morning, President Trump Seized the (Labor) Day by insulting union leader Richard Trumka. However inappropriate the tweet, this post is about Trump's anti-Union policies.
In history, the most anti-unionist presidents have been Ronald Reagan and Woodrow Wilson. While Wilson himself did not incite union busting (he actually created the 8 hour workday,) he supported a 1909 wave of union busting by employers. The only reason Wilson supported the 8 hour workday was to appease railway workers, other than that, Wilson was a staunch Anti-Unionist. Reagan, however, was known for busting PATCO.
Still, I doubt that Trump will actually follow through with his comments on AFL-CIO, and his comments will be filed in the ever expanding bin of Tweeted empty threats.
