Last month, AFL-CIO Richard Trumka’s resignation from President Donald Trump’s manufacturing commission, and his angry denunciation of the President during and after his announcement, received intense media coverage.
As National Right to Work Committee President Mark Mix explains in a new commentary for Forbes magazine, Trumka’s attack on Trump was blatantly hypocritical. But Trumka would never have had the opportunity to launch this particular attack if White House advisors hadn’t foolishly tried to appease him. Will the White House learn its lesson and stop trying to co-opt Big Labor as a consequence of Trumka’s outburst?
See the link below to read Mix’s commentary in its entirety.
Using the widespread economic hardship caused by COVID-19 and the political response to it as an excuse, President Joe Biden and his D.C. cronies are now transferring hundreds of billions of dollars from hard-pressed federal taxpayers to union boss-dominated states and localities.
The amount of money contributed to the Big Labor-dominated retirement funds commonly referred to as multi-employer pension plans, or MEPPs, is directly determined through union monopoly bargaining.
