 Last week was a tragedy-filled week for working people and their families. Here are some of the responses from union sisters and brothers, as compiled by the AFL-CIO:
"We mourn the loss of the officers who were shot in the line of duty in Dallas, protecting the right to protest peacefully." AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka "We must end the unacceptable violence that cut short the lives of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, while honoring the millions of officers who do a dangerous job each day with dignity and respect for all. We are better than this."AFSCME President Lee Saunders "We mourn the loss of union Brothers and nonunion Brothers alike. We stand in solidarity with and offer our condolences and prayers to the families and communities of those who died." Texas AFL-CIO "We condemn the underlying racism that leads to the murder of innocent people anywhere." United Steelworkers President Leo W. Gerard Comments are closed.
