Wow, AFL-CIO Union Comes Out in Support of Illegal Alien Workers Taking U.S. Jobs…

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2019/08/08/wow-afl-cio-union-comes-out-in-support-of-illegal-alien-workers-taking-u-s-jobs/

In a remarkable admission today on Twitter AFL-CIO Labor Union President Richard Trumka supports the principle of illegal alien workers taking the jobs of American workers. This is quite a bucket of sunlight upon a previously hidden agenda.

AFL/CIO has always been in the RATS pocket, now their leader is dead, but they won’t miss a beat, as the commies keep rolling undeterred.

“If you come back and you’re not vaccinated, everybody in that workplace is jeopardized.”

On the other hand, you might get the vaccine and die and you won't BE going back to work.
