Tim Walz and Kamala Harris are struggling to win over rank-and-file union members.

The International Association of Fire Fighters last week declined to endorse either candidate in the presidential race.

Democrats ’ waning influence with unions, especially industrial, male-heavy groups like the firefighters and Teamsters , has been a major point of concern for Democrats .

In Pennsylvania , a must-win state for Harris , the state firefighters’ union has already decided not to issue its own presidential endorsement.

In Wisconsin , a key swing state, the union is still holding internal meetings to decide whether they want to issue their own endorsement.
