Law's Eric Chaffee notes Ohio's labor unions' political drift to the right

Ohio labor unions, traditional allies of Democrats, have drifted right

WEWS: Eric Chaffee, the John C. Hutchins Professor of Law, noted that Ohio labor unions’ rightward drift reflects Republicans’ successful appeals to populism and working-class concerns, while Democrats have become more coastal and urban-focused. He noted unions increasingly back candidates who show up or are likely to win, even if they aren’t ideal policy matches.
