The League of American Workers is a "populist right, pro-worker organization," founder Steve Cortes says.

Cortes is a longtime conservative pundit and former Donald Trump spokesperson.

The group has links to GOP dark money and conservative websites dressed up to look like local news outlets.

AFL-CIO: "Of course it is astroturfing".

The League of American Workers has just three board members, Cortes said in an email.

Records show the group incorporated in Ohio in March 2023 , and its single-page bylaws indicate it operates as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit.

Cortes dodged a question about his funding on C-SPAN , thanking unspecified “generous donors throughout the country”.

Metric Media has run more than 200 Facebook ads pushing League of American Workers content since November 2023 .

Many of the ads are linked to Cortes ' work on social media.

Cortes has published results from 13 polls sponsored by the League of.
