The vast majority of Americans, no matter their candidate of choice, voted to rewrite the economic rules that have for too long left working people weaker and poorer. When it comes to the economic security of our families and communities, one of the most important decisions every incoming president must make is choosing who will serve in his or her Cabinet. These are immensely powerful positions that have a direct say on everything from wages to workplace safety to consumer protection to good schools to health and retirement security.

Hey Dick! Still living up to your name I see. Been back to Wisconsin lately? You remember, where you got your ass handed to you a few years ago? Well those guys are back and they’re comin’ for you!

The big Union bosses are very worried, but the workers aren’t...they know President Trump is with them and that is all that matters...

It’s evident you suffer from huge butthurt because President-elect Trump was elected, Dickie.

Trumka is one of the most despicable people in this country. He is truly an evil scumbag.
If he is worried, it fills me with hope and joy.

More American Jobs bad for American Labor Union Boss Claims. Adding, "You dumbasses, what did you have before me? huh!?"

If the AFL-CIO is upset, The Donald must be doing the right thing!

We should be THANKING Mr. Trumpka - without his people supporting Trump, Hillary very likely would be on her way to the White House.

Well, they worry me, too, Mr Trumpka. With the exception of General Mattis, most of them are too liberal to suit me.
I mean, none of them have pledged to abolish public schools or outlaw labor unions, for example.

What’s good for the AFL-CIO is bad for the USA.
