I strongly doubt it. The nurses, who AFAIK are the only national union that has explicitly endorsed Sanders (the UE said something encouraging members to consider supporting Sanders that stopped short of explicit endorsement) are longtime champions of the financial transactions tax. I think that Sanders' support of the FTT was a factor in the nurses' endorsement.
Also, Sanders, like DeFazio, has been a supporter of the FTT since at least the late 90s. He was an "early adopter."
