This chap must be quite powerful for people to have put up with this much treachery.
He has visited the Obama White House 30 times since becoming AFL-CIO Chief Thug - more than any other single person during the same period of time.

1993 United Mine Workers Strike
As head of the United Mine Workers, Trumka ordered a nationwide strike against Peabody Coal in 1993. On July 22, a non-union worker, Eddie York, was shot in the back of the head and killed as he attempted to pass striking coal workers. Picketers continued to throw rocks after York was shot, preventing his would be rescuers from assisting him.
Trumka and other United Mine Workers officials settled a wrongful death lawsuit with Mr. York’s widow out of court in 1997.
