AFL-CIO’s Trumka: Trump ‘Has Done More to Hurt Workers Than to Help Workers’
Breitbart ^

Posted on 09/03/2018 5:46:35 AM PDT by bryan999

On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” AFL-CIO chief Richard Trumka said President Donald Trump has “hurt workers.”

On Trump’s performance for workers, Trumka said, “Unfortunately, to date, the things that he has done to hurt workers outpace what he’s done to help workers. He hasn’t come up with an infrastructure program that could put a lot of us back to work. He overturned a regulation that would deny over 5 million overtime that they would’ve had. He overturned some health and safety regulations that will hurt us on the job.”

He continued, “Wages have been down since the first of the year. Gas prices have been up since the first year. So overall, workers aren’t doing as well.”

He added, “He has done more to hurt workers than to help workers.”

“The only workers Trumpka is talking about are union bosses and party flunkies.”

Exactly correct. All unions are this way.

Only leaders and party members benefit from Communism, the little people are just slave labor.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm??????, sounds like unions don’t it?

Boy, did you ever hear a guy who whines so much?

I didn't hear this same whine when Obama was destroying the employment market.

Remember when high unemployment and low wages were the "new normal"?

If this is this pinko's assessment of Trump, it sounds like Trump in doing a fantastic job.

Trumka is a Democrat always and foremost. As a Labor leader, a distant second.

Trumpka just does the bidding of his paymasters. He’s owned by the same people who own the RINOs. If the “workers of the world” ever do rise up, Trumpka will understand why he is swinging from a tree.

A union boss said that? What could possibly motivate him to say something like that?

Yeah, we got one of those pieces of mail telling us who to vote for. We did use it, to make sure we were not accidently voting for a union idiot. Anyone whose name was on that paper was off as a candidate for us. I’ll bet we were not the only ones either. Mr de IL was only in the union because he had to be, since we live in Illinois.

It’s like my parents found out long ago, the unions do not support the rank-and-file. They are out of touch with middle American values

Reagan and Trump also realized it

What has Trumpa and his dem paymasters ever done for American workers. If Trumpa wants to help American workers, he would support building the wall, and chasing illegals back across the border.

AFL-CIO’s Trumka is confusing ‘union members’ with ‘American workers’... All Union members are ‘workers’ but NOT all American workers are union members.

American workers are waaaay ahead because of President Trump and I’m guessing there’s also more Union Members since Trump because there’s more jobs.

The dirty little things that the Unions have done over the years make it easy for Trump to gain an advantage over them. They pushed too hard when they already had the upper hand. The public has a bad taste in their mouth when somebody mentions unions now.

Union leadership are democrats. Union workers are Trumpers. They are not republican. They are Trumpers. And Trumka can say what he wants but workers are not following Trumka.
