The president campaigned on the promise of helping workers find high-paying jobs. But AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka told reporters that Trump’s failed attempt to repeal ObamaCare would’ve hurt many of the same working-class voters who helped elect him.The labor boss also criticized moves by Trump to roll back health and safety protections for workers during a speech to the National Press Club.“If you pull a bait-and-switch on working people, if you say that you’re with us and then attack us, you’re going to fail,” Trumka said.“When the president says, ‘I’m for you,’ and then he does the old switcheroozy and he pulls a healthy or safety regulation that hurts us, we’ll let him know.”
What does Trumka have to complain about? The Dakota access and Keystone XL pipeline will be a boon to the unions...especially his.
