Thursday, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka released a video calling unspecified Republican candidates “hateful and racist” for their immigration policies. Trumka said, “Hi, I’m Rich Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO. In the last several weeks, the subject of immigrants living and working in the U.S. has become a major part of the political debate.

The AFL–CIO has a long relationship with civil rights struggles. One of the major points of contention between the AFL and the CIO, particularly in the era immediately after the CIO split off, was the CIO’s willingness to include black workers (excluded by the AFL in its focus on craft unionism.)[27][28][29] Later, blacks would also criticize the CIO for abandoning their interests, particularly after the merger with the AFL.[30]
In 1961, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., gave a speech titled “If the Negro Wins, Labor Wins” to the organization’s convention in Bal Harbour, Florida. King hoped for a coalition between civil rights and labor that would improve the situation for the entire working class by ending white supremacy. However, King also criticized the AFL–CIO for its tolerance of unions that excluded black workers.[31] King and the AFL–CIO diverged further in 1967, when King announced his opposition to the Vietnam War, which the AFL-CIO strongly supported.[31] Eventually, with the backing of Southern political director Wilbur Hobby, the AFL-CIO endorsed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Watch the steel industry labor negotiations in September. Good bellweather.
Be careful a drunk illegal alien doesn’t run over your pathetic a$$ when you’re crossing the street, Trumka.

Trumka is a fat slob. Was that civilized enough?
In "the good old days", when some ignorant jerk loudmouth would open his yap and spew some unbelievable stupidity, he'd get the Obama beaten out of him, and we would hear no more of his stupid opinion.
Now, however, that's no longer true...
