By definition, not - maybe you could pick a better term?

It was definitely the progressive point of view. Trade unions in the US have historically been nativist.

My understanding is that in America, the Democratic party is considered to be the liberal party. Most people left-of-center vote for the liberal party. They think of unions and worker protections as liberal values. They also oppose globalization because it has the effect of reducing wages and increasing local job loss.

And so, these Democratic Party supporting liberal minded left-leaning people are in a bind. The new conservative president at least on the surface seems to be doing more to protect local jobs than the last two Democratic Presidents have. In-fact, their champion in the last election sought to increase globalization.

No one economically literate would ever say, "Not to any economically literate person.".
