Whatever you think of his motives here, the fact that onetime donor-class darling Marco Rubio is siding with labor in a high-profile union battle is an interest indication of which way the winds are blowing in Republican politics.
Rubio pretty blunt about his calculus here: "Here’s my standard: When the conflict is between working Americans and a company whose leadership has decided to wage culture war against working-class values, the choice is easy — I support the workers."

Yeah, I mean, we'll see how this works out for Rubio. But the good news for unions is that the list of companies that have run afoul of the right in the culture wars—and now must be punished by Rubio's standard—is pretty long!
