I don’t know how to feel Guess I’ll just go on living. Whatever union he was king of, I don’t expect any changes.

[spacejunkie2001]

okay, sorry to be dense but does he come out against it at the end of July?

[PJ-Comix]

George Meany outlived him despite having a cigar permanently in his mouth.

[Reily]

More money that he & his cronies could soak up perhaps the rank-n-file got some but only as an after thought.

Fundamentally he was a gangster ask the Yablonski family!

I wonder if SNL will do a running gag about this:

AFL-CIO President Trumka is still dead.

[Jane Long]

No idea.

Have you done a search for any updates?

[spacejunkie2001]

I was just trying to clear up the confusion from your post saying he said something different on 7/28

[magyars4]

I’d like to por a bottle of whiskey on his grave....after I filter it through my body.

[Jane Long]

Sorry for any confusion.....I should’ve said/explained that this is the LATEST I could find, from him.

[9YearLurker]

Vaxxed?

[Blogatron]

I'll comment for you.

Welcome off my Liste d'merde, Richard.

[M Kehoe]

I’ll second your no comment.

Arkancide?
Epsteined?

No joke. I’ve read for years that there have been knives out within the AFL-CIO for Trumka. And of course each other.

Will be interesting to follow the battle for control of the AFL-CIO politburo. Huge amounts of money at stake, especially control of the pension fund.

So he won’t be spending Eternity in a anonymous hole in the New Jersey Pine Barrens, unlike a lot of his acquaintances?

[Deplorable American1776]

No comment...

Agreed with it... NO COMMENT!!

[cherry]

Here is a different point of view.

To the best of my knowledge, Trumka did not oppose Hillary’s plan to shut down the mines and throw the miners out of work. He also doesn’t have appeared to have spoken out strongly against the outsourcing of jobs to China. A strong union leader, dedicated to the welfare of his members, would have gone to verbal war with these threats to his members.

[LRoggy]

Kind of depended which network he was being interviewed on. I would see him a decent amount on CNBC and he took on a more moderate tone there.

[Steve Van Doorn]

I personally used to know him and his father. They're both "nice" guys until we talked about politics or relationships. Both didn't believe in marriage that lasted. Last time I talked to Richard was about three years ago. We used to talk nearly every night for years playing a game Ulitma Online together.

I was banned from the game for defending Trump about three years ago.
