He liked the puppies that he didn’t kill. See there is something nice you can say about anyone.

Wonder if he was getting ready to release a letter, similar to what the Postal Workers did, regarding vaccines and masks?

AFL-CIO Union Federation Supports Vaccine Mandates For Workers
“The federation’s president was unequivocal: “If you come back and you’re not vaccinated, everybody in that workplace is jeopardized.


What if you don’t ‘come back’, after these shots??? 😱

In his very own words.....

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy ordered flags in that state flown at half-staff to mark Trumka’s death.

He should have stuck with the New and Improved Delta Lite. Less calories and taste great!

I’m trying to remember even one time when he was on the right side of any issue.

Can’t help but wonder which side he’s on now.

but I never got the vibe he wanted anything more than more money or benefits for the members.

He supported the pols that sold off all the US jobs to China. He knew what he was doing.
