I encountered this term in an opinion piece on the U.S. election, etc., in a Mexican publication. I'm somewhat familiar with syndicalism over the past century or two, but I have been unable to find anything helpful for "filosindicalismo."
Here's the paragraph in which it occurs:
"Pero es que, aparte, tampoco creo que ponerse en plan realpolitik sea muy inteligente. ¿De veras creen que el nuevo TLC está más a salvo con la volatilidad patriotera de Trump que con el aparente ***filosindicalismo*** de Biden? ¿En serio piensan que hay una conexión entre nuestro presidente y el Agente Naranja, que no tiene conexión con nadie más que consigo mismo y que te palmea la cabeza exactamente hasta el momento en que te le dejas de cuadrar un segundito?"
The only thing I came up with was, working off the basic meaning of "filo" = "edge" or "brink," that maybe the meaning is "on the verge of syndicalism," or perhaps "almost-syndicalism."
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

theories on unionism
Unionism reflects the way in which workers might tend to form groups.
El unionismo relecta la manera en que trabajadores muestran una tendencia de formarse en grupos.

En un artículo de un periódico mejicano de noviembre del 2020 se compara una volatilidad patriota del presidente antiguo de Estados Unidos con un filosindicalismo del nuevo presidente. El artículo explica porque hay el cambio de presidente en Estados Unidos, y que un turno hacia la democracia puede ser algo positivo, aunque es temprano.
[In an article from a Mexican newspaper, November 2020, national uncertainty which was heightened during the last U.S. presidency is compared with the new president's ideology. The article explains why there was a change in presidency in the United States , and that a turn in favour of democracy should be positive, though it's early yet.]

That said, I think that you guys are both right, that in this context the meaning is more along the lines of "pro-union," or friend of the workers. Thanks, Helena, for the supporting background info.
WASHINGTON — President-elect Joe Biden's campaign began at a union hall in Pittsburgh, a city with a deep ties to organized labor, and it ended nearby with an election-eve promise to be "the most pro-union president you've ever seen."

Altogether, they’re the most pro-labor campaign planks of any Democratic presidential nominee in generations. Biden is endorsed by every major national union, including the national AFL-CIO and all its affiliates. If he wins, they’ll work to hold him to the following promises:

Biden's apparent pro-unionism?
...www.dailytelegraph.com.au › news.. They no longer have one-up on the “trade union loving lefties”.
Incidentally my own name, Philip, means friend of horses.

But I'm not sure how I'd translate your word, or even what the text is about - what's TLC?
