AFL-CIO Leader Says Hope For Working With Trump Has Faded

When Donald Trump moved into the White House in January, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka hoped that labor leaders like himself would find common ground with the new president. Several union officials from the building trades even met with Trump for a photo-op during his first week in the Oval Office.

But seven months later, Trumka says there is little hope left that unions will have a fruitful relationship with Trump.

An if he's no better judge of character than that, he doesn't deserve his job.
