AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka Visits Ohio to Rally Working People Against Donald Trump
AFL-CIO ^ | 11/04/2016 | Kenneth Quinnell

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.

the blue collar guys are going for Trump

Add something else: It isn't sitting well with a lot of folks that hillary came to Cleveland with Beyoncé and JayZ to gin up the black vote. Today, she's coming to Cleveland again, this time with LeBron to try to keep east side voters on the plantation. Logic is it will cost her more votes than any small number she will impress, who let billionaire entertainers tell them how to vote.

TIPP will shrink Trumka’s audiences going forward.

He should go and hold a rally in the giant field in Twinsburg that was a Chrysler Plant until a few years ago!

Why would working people want to vote for Hillary Clinton? That is like the hogs voting for the butcher!

The AFL-CIO cares nothing for people, or even the United States; they’re all about the exercise of raw power -flexing political muscle.

Trumka: ‘Please vote for Hillary, so we can still get our dues while we ship your jobs overseas...Hillary won’t affect me, so please vote Hillary, Trump will hurt me...and help you.’
