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.”

One of great mysteries of life is why this dirt-bag is not in federal prison.
Nice try, dumb*ass.
As if a leader of the AFL-CIO could pass a third grade math test.
Go back to what you do best...crime and corruption.

Did you check your own link?
What I posted was straight off their information from 2015
Yup.
...While they may have been useful in the past, the structure of businesses have changed and Unions are outdated...
The wheels have come off this Democrat money machine.
Who cares what the communist thinks
Which increases demand and raises wages. Simple economics.
This Trump supporter to AFL-CIO’s Trumka; “Union leaders do more to hurt workers and help themselves.”
I became convinced that Trump was the candidate to support in 2016 when I saw that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO were both attacking the same candidate.
Commrade Trumka will be out of a job if President Trump “hurts” more workers.
I think if asked those workers would disagree with him.
I guess Trumpka is upset because he’s lost his office in the Whitehouse.
The absolute, naked truth.
With our economy booming, Black and Hispanic unemployment at all-time record low levels, and tens of thousands of blue-collar and union jobs returning to America, the party coalitions of the past are being re-drawn in ways that will render the two Parties more readily distinguishable from one another. While this process will be difficult and fraught with peril, it will over the next few years produce a result that is far better for the country.
