A Green Light For Union-Free Job Training?
One of the key goals of the U.S. Department of Labor since President Donald Trump’s second term commenced in January 2025 has been to expand the number of apprenticeships in America to “at least a million.”

Andy Stern is living in a world of delusion. According to the soon-to-be retiring union boss and President Obama confidant, forced unionism “is the greatest middle-class, job-creating mechanism that we have ever had in America that doesn’t cost tax payers a dime.”
Is he kidding? From Project Labor Agreement kickback schemes to bailouts of mismanaged union pension funds, Big Labor has become a drain on taxpayers. Who was it that was rallying in front of the capitol building in Illinois this week chanting for higher tax rates for government union member raises? Public workers union bosses are bankrupting the country. Mr. Stern, who do you think pays their salaries and benefits packages?

From 2015 to 2025, state and local governments’ collective spending soared by 62% (26 percentage points above the CPI), reaching nearly $4.4 trillion a year. Yet Big Labor propagandists insist government is being “starved”!
With President Trump’s sharp rollback of union monopoly bargaining in federal workplaces in effect, federal taxpayers have reportedly been getting better services while saving tens of billions of dollars in payroll costs.
