AFL-CIO Boss Trumka: Enforcing the Law “Dishonors America”
AFL-CIO Boss Richard Trumka responded to the recent mass arrests of Occupy WallStreet protestors Thursday, calling them a “tremendous dishonor to America.”
Protestors at an Occupy Oakland demonstration clashed with police Wednesday as did protestors in Atlanta. More than 100 people were arrested in Oakland and 53 in Atlanta.
“The Occupy Wall Street movement has elevated the national conversation by shining overdue attention on the struggles of the 99% for whom the economy is broken,” Trumka said in a statement. “When people can’t raise their voices around pervasive inequality, there is a fundamental problem with how we’re functioning as a nation.”
