I would say the vast majority of people in my union are not Democrats

This is why like 3 years ago when I tried to explain to people why Trump won they were astounded that stuff like this played a bigger role in elections than social issues or even if politicians are ethical. Trump promised to play ball with auto unions, so Michigan went to Trump even though it generally goes blue. He also promised to play ball with other industries that employ people, union or no, and other unions. Clinton meanwhile in debates essentially made no promises and didn't even have a semblance of a plan articulated on camera. Because at the end of the day an average voter's primary concern is how much money he has and where it's coming from and everything else is secondary.

Current events certainly don't help Trump's re election but until or unless the Democratic Party drafts a plan to get people good, stable union jobs that carry social dignity and allow them to support families they'll always be on a shaky position no matter how vile or evil the opposition is. This will always hold true because what you're essentially asking voters is if they'll do something to help other people, but will leave them destitute, especially in places like Detroit or the Appalachians where that scenario has already played out.
