Statement by AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka on Resignation of Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis
AFL-CIO ^ | January 9, 2013 | AFL-CIO

Posted on 01/11/2013 12:37:00 PM PST by mdittmar

Labor Secretary Hilda Solis brought urgently needed change to the Department of Labor, putting the U.S. government firmly on the side of working families. Under Secretary Solis, the Labor Department became a place of safety and support for workers. Secretary Solis’s Department of Labor talks tough and acts tough on enforcement, workplace safety, wage and hour violations and so many other vital services. Secretary Solis never lost sight of her own working-class roots, and she always put the values of working families at the center of everything she did. We hope that her successor will continue to be a powerful voice both within the Obama administration and across the country for all of America’s workers.

Just damn. I saw Trumka and Resignation in the same sentence and initially got excited.

Trumka really meant Hilda Solis was firmly in the camp of the communist union leader thugs like himself.

In 2010, the percentage of workers belonging to a union in the United States (or total labor union “density”) was 11.4%, Union membership in the private sector has fallen under 7%[2] — levels not seen since 1932.

So if the head union gangster, I mean boss, liked Solis does that mean she worked for the unions and not the other 90 percent of American workers?

If workplaces have become so safe under Hilda and the union leadership, why are so many more people becoming disabled so as to qualify for SSDI benefits?

Trumka was obviously a schoolyard bully. Someone should give him a good ass-whooping to get that chip off his shoulder.

If I hear are see the words “working family” again I’m going to scream. The libs use that as much now as “it’s for the children” catch phrase!

Me too.

Grudging respect for their ability to compound lies.

Working? No.

Families? No again.

Working families? No²

Trumka, if not rescued from Divine justice, will burn in Hell for his sins and crimes. I’m not exactly asking for him to be rescued. Communist.

Trumpka could qualify as the leader of Obama’s Feral Adolescents. Feral Adolescents roam from trough to trough feeding until their snout hits bottom. Then they straighten up scratch their bellies burp fart and roam away in search of the next trough. They never show a bit of gratitude to the tax payers who fill the troughs, they just demand more. The burning question is what happens when the last trough is emptied?
