Clinton tells cheering union members that Trump is ‘urgent threat to our rights’

http://www.reviewjournal.com/politics/elections/clinton-tells-cheering-union-members-trump-urgent-threat-our-rights


Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton spoke in Las Vegas on Thursday, mounting a fierce attack against Donald Trump and calling the GOP candidate and billionaire businessman an “urgent threat to our rights.”

Clinton’s speech was delivered at the United Food & Commercial Workers International Union conference at The Mirage. Her visit came as Trump amassed enough delegates to clinch the GOP presidential nomination.

“... there has never been more at stake for working families in America than there is right now,” Clinton told the group of several hundred cheering union members.

Specifically, Clinton blasted Trump for signing a contract with a “union-busting” firm and discouraging efforts to unionize at Trump International in Las Vegas. She complimented those workers for organizing, which they have done through the Culinary Union.

Like unions that organize, Clinton said, all Americans must stand together if they want to defeat Trump.

Mark Manna, a UFCW area director from Buffalo, N.Y., said supporting Clinton is an easy choice. As a New York state resident, he said, he saw her work as a U.S. senator. Clinton is the only choice for a working American who wants to make a good living, he said, comparing her to Trump.
