Hillary's job may have just gotten much harder.
More below.
“It is early, and although many candidates are already in the race, the field remains open,” Trumka said. “And the labor movement's doors are open to any candidate who is serious about transforming our economy with high and rising wages.”
Trumka said candidates will need to choose between Wall Street and American workers.
He hinted, however, that the Trans-Pacific Partnership and fast-track authority are issues that could be make-or-break for the AFL-CIO.
well, that more or less seals Hillary's fate as a POTUS hopeful. "Transforming" our economy at this point is going to take
wayyyy more than simply raising the minimum wage and stopping the horrid TPP.
She's already waffling on the TPP-- having not long ago stated "it's the Gold Standard of trade deals"-- to now saying nothing.
Trumka stated "No more hedging your bets" in reference to democratic candidate fence sitters who continue to ignore, and kick Labor to the curb-- all while expecting workers to campaign and vote for democratic candidates.
NOPE. that's over now, and it should have been over long ago.
