Today on a press call, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, AFT President Randi Weingarten and Bricklayers President Jim Boland highlighted the devastating impact the Republican tax bill will have on working people.
“President Donald Trump and the GOP are hustling for a tax plan that would change American life in terrible ways by cutting services, killing American manufacturing, outsourcing jobs, weakening our economy and undermining our future. Instead of giving a gigantic tax cut to the rich, Congress should focus on funding our domestic priorities, not just defense. That means fixing at risk pensions, protecting Dreamers and TPS recipients, providing Puerto Rico relief and extending CHIP.”
- AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka
“I didn’t think it was possible, but the Republicans have managed to use their conference committee to make the tax bill even sweeter for the rich. And they're going to pay for it by raising taxes on the middle class at the same time cutting their local services like public schools, police and fire.”
- AFT President Randi Weingarten
“This bill was rolled out as tax reform but it is anything but. It is a transfer of wealth from working people to corporations. It will not create jobs or do anything to raise the standard of living of working people. We need policies that allow us to upgrade our failing infrastructure that doesn’t measure up to the rest of the world.”
- Bricklayers President Jim Boland
It just get's better and better.

If the union thugs hate it, it must be good for working Americans.
No working class heroes in those three ...
The unions are lying yet again. It does the exact opposite of “killing American manufacturing, outsourcing jobs, weakening our economy and undermining our future.” Normal people know this, but the brainwashed masses will believe it.
Don’t believe these Lying Leftist unions that proved themselves during the 2016 campaign to be operatives of the DNC and intentional liars. They are presumed to be lying and we should presume what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.
Can we limit posting this kind of b/s from a known Lying Leftist union? What good does it do other than demoralize the readers? Some have said if they didn’t know any better they would think FR was a Leftist site what with all the pro-Lying Left headlines steaming across. If this story is true and has some redeeming value, at least get the story from a reasonably reliable source, not from a known Lying Leftist operative.
Agree. If union scum and RATS don’t like it then its great
They will burn in hell soon enough with the rest of the socialists.
.... They are presumed to be lying and we should presume what they publish is a lie...
This is a fact about almost all democrats and other liberals. Lies are a foundation of the democrat party and liberalism in general.
It’s gotta be great if Trumka and the AFL-CIO hate it.
This is war. Republicans need to fight this disinformation and fight it hard, not being reluctant to call it “lies”.
Well I really wasn’t a fan of it, until I read this.
Trump is the only one who can do it.
But Rubio almost ruined it by trying to appeal to those who would never vote Republican if their lives depended on it.
Rubio the loser wants another crack the Presidency. all publicity is good ...... it is that simple.
The people don’t matter
Pantload Alert!
Have union dues been eliminated as a tax deduction?
the Dems didn’t mind when they approved taxing Social Security income
This from the mafia run AFL-CIO who has allowed Amercia to bleed jobs to China
