Obama, Unions On Opposite Sides Of The (Fast) Track For Trade Deals
"We're going all out" to stop Obama's trade agenda, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka told reporters on Tuesday. The next day, the labor organization announced it would freeze all political action committee donations to federal candidates until further notice — saying it had to "conserve resources for the historic legislative battle" against fast track.
Obama vs. teachers unions: It's still on
But as deputy education secretary under Arne Duncan, whom he will replace in December, and before that as the top education official in New York state, King’s relations with unions have been as rocky as Duncan’s—and for that matter Obama’s. The unions often argue that the deep problems of urban education have their roots outside the school, with impoverished and crime-ridden neighborhoods stripped of hope.
Reality...bites Democrats again and again.
See, right on cue, another Trumptard trying to convince us that the GOP is the new pro-labor party.
Really? Because that is not what I said. Labor has been on a decline for decades now. A lot of it was the union's own fault as they shifted to overseas and followed the jobs, instead of fighting to keep them here. It was just the last few months that Obama cozied up to them. Up until then he just expected their votes because he was a Democrat.
