Incoming AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka: An Ugly History of Violence and Corruption

National Right To Work reports:
Richard Trumka, former United Mine Workers (UMW) union president and
current secretary-treasurer of the AFL-CIO, is expected to be elected this week as
president of the nation’s largest union coalition. Trumka’s record of militancy, disregard
for the rule of law, and condoning of violence by union goons during strikes suggests that
his presidency of the AFL-CIO could usher in a new era of forced-unionism extremism.
