        As for Trumka he has no clue. Talk about hypocrisy. A guy who led the most violent union in America quits to protest violence. Wow!

        Sad that they pretend to oppose defenders of slavery past while they seek to gain from near slavery today.

        Ironically these companies benefit from unpaid and unregulated foreign labor just as plantation owners did from American slavery.

        As a former shop steward, I find it incredulous that a President of a union would cry racism when union officers are devoid of integrity.

        He's AFL-CIO (labor organization). He represents "REAL" Americans. The kind that Trump likes to claim he does, but nothing materializes.

        Don't know him but I love everything he stands for. The last time I typed this was to Obama.
