He knows he is just towing the party line, but he looked really stupid in that interview where he said basically “oh Biden will create replacement jobs” Idiotic!
It’s just “unconventional” to see a Union punk like Trumka defend workers who lost a job.
He has no reason to defend non-members.
It always got me in trouble with my “shop-buddies” when they got laid off but continued paying dues so they could get into the union hall and read the “No Jobs Today” poster.
I’d ask them, “How’s that union membership working out for you now?”
