Ohio is an important swing state in next week's presidential election, and if Donald Trump fails to win the state, his path toward victory is very narrow. That's why AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka was in the state making sure that working people know how important their vote is. Here is some of the media coverage of Trumka's visit:
Toledo Blade: "Before volunteers spent their time canvassing local neighborhoods to urge those to vote, which consisted of two three-hour shifts, Mr. Trumka, president of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO), stopped by in support of Hillary Clinton to boost the volunteer spirit and to urge people to vote in an election he called 'the most consequential of our time.'
"'It’s going to decide which direction our country goes,' Mr. Trumka told the room of about 50 people, adding there will be a record high number of American voters this year.

Trumka = PIG
Only 50 people showed up?
AFL-CIO effort is too little, too late.
Trumka is a terrorist
His United Mine Workers comitted innumerable acts of terrorism while on strike in South West Virginia
Richard Trumka thinks his members are too stupid to formulate their own opinions, so he fritters away their wages to finance these garish events to celebrate his own personal preference for President. Trumka has fantasies of attending black-tie banquets at the White House and trading favors for the fattening of his bank account as well as his fat-a$$.
Even selling the concept of a union has to be tough. If you think of yourself as an above-average worker, why would you ever join a union?
People dont rally “against” a candidate.
Unions outlived what good and usefulness they had many decades ago.
This is the same Dick who celebrated when Bonzo “shoved” BonzoCare “”down Americans’ throats”.
yeah Trumka is an idiot
Trump has been working with unions for all of his life to build and run his businesses which is why the GOP elites claim he is not a pure conservative
and will vote for Hillary instead
The union leaders may like Hillary, but the blue-collar guys are going for Trump.
Obama sent jobs out of the country, but as long as Trumpka keeps getting his checks from the DNC, what does he care?
What a scumbag.
This commie POS Trumka is tight with boy president 0bama, that says volumes about both of them.
How stupid is labor leadership ? As thousand of union jobs are destroyed by the establishment already!!
What is he going to do, Break their legs if they vote for Donald?
Working people also know how expensive Obamacare is, except didn’t Unions get special treatment for a certain period of time? 50 people may be unaware of the delayed expense they are going to get.
How stupid is labor leadership ? As thousand of union jobs are destroyed by the establishment already!!
How stupid are their members? If you removed the names and the parties from candidates and simply listed their policies it is probable that almost 100% of labor union members would support the policies of Trump!
Dear trumpka,
AFLCIO could be part of the solution ... and help get America’s 95 MILLION unemployed adults...jobs.
But no, you keep shooting off your mouth for HilLIARy to destroy even MORE of our jobs.
FU Trumpka!
“Trumka = Pig”
LOL!
Yes, he actually thinks he is some kind of rock star with tremendous gravitas and power of persuasion. People will ooh and aah just listening to him giving them marching orders to vote for the corrupt Clinton.
Meanwhile everyone besides himself will be laughing at a fat bloated pig.
He’s still assuming that millions of the “working men” believe everything he says because he is the head of their union.
