AFL-CIO Union Boss Warns Democrats If They Vote To Cut Entitlement Programs,
“We Will Never Stop Working To End Your Career”…
LMAO on that one. Like a union boss is going to tell his robots to vote for anything but a Democrat. What a hollow threat....Of course Unions aren't what they used to be. They just talk like they are....but the libs will still bow down to them.
WASHINGTON — With fresh Capitol Hill budget battles on the horizon, the head of the leading labor federation planned to issue a blistering warning to unions’ Democratic allies on Monday, saying the AFL-CIO would “never stop working” to end the political careers of Democrats who cut entitlement programs.
“No politician … I don’t care the political party … will get away with cutting Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid benefits. Don’t try it,” AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said, according to prepared remarks for a speech in Las Vegas, Nev.
According to the draft, which was supplied to HuffPost by the AFL-CIO, Trumka stressed his point for Democrats who may be wobbly on the issue.
“This warning goes double for Democrats,” he said. “We will never forget. We will never forgive. And we will never stop working to end your career.”

Not that I would expect a person with a head full of rocks to understand but they are going to do what the Chamber of Commerce is going to do. Fund the moderate Republican and not the teabilly. In this case, they would fund the more leftist candidate vs the moderate Democrat.

The states without right to work laws will be left behind. But that's ok, because those states that are left behind will just raise taxes to pay for more government programs for their impoverished citizenry. I'm sure that will end well.
