A tentative agreement was reached to raise salaries, although other issues still need to be resolved. <\/p>\n<p>Harris issued a statement saying the development \u201cindicates progress toward a strong contract and represents the power of collective bargaining.\u201d She added that \u201cdockworkers deserve a fair share for their hard work getting essential goods out to communities across America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unions have long been a bedrock of support for Democrats, but Harris has failed to secure some key endorsements.

Both unions endorsed Joe Biden four years ago. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not a total cold shoulder for Harris. Some Teamsters locals are supporting her, and she won quick endorsements from national teachers unions, the building trades, the AFL-CIO and the United Auto Workers after replacing Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket. <\/p>\n<p>But the divide within the labor community is a reminder of shifting loyalties in American politics. Democrats have increased their support among white-collar professionals while Republicans try to make inroads among voters who didn\u2019t attend college.<\/p>\n<p>During a rally in Saginaw, Michigan on Thursday, Trump claimed that Republicans are now \u201cthe party of the American worker,\u201d glossing over <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-teamsters-union-washington-0689d1d586a9b0760610ae619086691f\">his anti-union record as president<\/a><\/span>.

Later in the day, he\u2019s holding a campaign event in Fayetteville, North Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>Union voters have traditionally leaned toward Democrats, with 56% supporting Biden in 2020. But Trump has pushed hard to win over blue-collar workers traditionally represented by some of the biggest unions. He won 62% of white voters without college degrees \u2014 though only 24% of non-white voters without college degrees \u2014 in 2020. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s frustrating for Democrats, who point to the country\u2019s strong labor market \u2014 <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/jobs-hiring-federal-reserve-inflation-unemployment-economy-87447d5187b37bb0f5cf996e25bad808\">254,000 jobs<\/a><\/span> were added in September, more than expected \u2014 and the White House\u2019s firm support for unions.
