Statement on the Passing of Paul Booth
AFL-CIO ^ | January 18, 2018 | AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka

Posted on 01/19/2018 1:00:13 PM PST by mdittmar

Statement by AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka on the passing of labor activist and leader Paul Booth:

I offer my deepest condolences to Heather and the entire Booth family. Everyone who had the privilege of knowing and working with Paul is grieving today. Paul was a good friend and a lifelong activist for working people. From college campuses to Chicago union halls to AFSCME headquarters, he gave every minute and ounce of sweat he had to the cause of social justice. Now, more than ever, we must continue that important work. As he recently urged, 'Let us all be missionaries—missionaries for solidarity, for organizing, for growing our unions and for the fights for justice.’

Union membership is based on "averages". If you are a union member and feel you are an above-average worker and warrant an above-average wage, you're screwed. If you're smart enough to realize you can't get a wage increase based on your own merit, join a union. Where's the justice in that?
