AFL-CIO chief Richard Trumka said Sunday that President Trump has done more to hurt workers than he has to help them.
“Unfortunately, to date, the things that he has done to hurt workers outpace what he’s done to help workers,” Trumka said on “Fox News Sunday,” referring to Trump. Trumka’s comments, made one day before Labor Day, come after Trump on Friday issued a statement praising labor unions. Trump lauded organized labor for "advocating for the interests of the American worker and wage-earner." But Trumka on Sunday criticized a number of Trump’s policy decisions.
“He hasn’t come up with an infrastructure program that could put a lot of us back to work,” Trumka said. “He overturned a regulation that would deny over 5 million overtime that they would’ve had. He overturned some health and safety regulations that will hurt us on the job.”
“We keep trying to find areas where we can work with him,” he added.
