Statement by AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka on the Trump administration’s brief to the Supreme Court on Janus v. AFSCME:
While President Trump boasts his support for working families, his administration is advocating a position in the United States Supreme Court that disregards decades of settled law and threatens our livelihoods. Yet again, his actions are failing his rhetoric and making clear that he has no intention of following through on his commitments to working people.
For more than forty years, through Republican and Democratic administrations, the law has recognized that unions and employers have the freedom to negotiate agreements under which everybody contributes his or her fair share. But now the Trump Administration is urging the Supreme Court to reverse this precedent and undermine working people and our unions. This is a shameful political payback to reward those who seek to do working people harm.
Arguing against our freedoms at work is not what working people expect of our government. Actions speak louder than words Mr. President, and these actions do not support working families as you so often claim.
Ass hat Trumka mentioned “working people” 5 times and “working families” twice, in that short statement.
Millionaire labor union officials always use such terms to imply that only by being in a union can you be working.
More States need to go to right-to-work and let the workers and employers put these unions out of business. That includes teachers unions.
Congress should put forth a bill to eliminate unions for government employees and the arcane rules that currently don’t allow them to be fired for cause. Would save $100’s of millions of taxpayers’ $$$. POTUS Trump would sign the bill!
This guy is living in 1992 and we all can’t stand him. He makes himself out to be a victim “nobody likes me” but then brags about how many millions he has in the bank.
This problem co-worker made a FoxPro db to track his personal investments, ran it on Windows XP and plugged it into the network even though it was off of Active Directly. Kept showing up on my anti-virus console.
The most the boss could do was tell him to unplug it from the network.
