Obama Tries To Gain Union Support

by | Aug 5, 2010 | News

President Obama met with the AFL-CIO Executive Council yesterday to sure up support for the November elections. AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka addressed his his organization’s leaders and political organizers Tuesday by saying: “Progress may be plodding, the labor lobby is slowly getting what they want from this White House. We need to tell our union brothers and sisters: We know you’re angry. We know you’re frustrated. We know we haven’t achieved everything we worked for. But we’ve made progress and we have to keep it going.” It’s anybody’s guess though whether these speeches will work with union members, due to the fact they have not received their number one priority Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) legislation yet. One thing is certain Trumka is trying to make sure union members don’t think for themselves, and vote for who they want.
