TRUMKA’S TIES TO SOCIALIST GROUPS

Democratic Socialists of America

DSA Atlanta newsletter, Jan. 2010

http://www.dsa-atlanta.org/pdf_docs/Newsletter_Jan2010.pdf

A major action involving the National AFL-CIO officers is also in the works. A breakfast meeting in September with 200 labor and community activists and top AFL-CIO officers -- Richard Trumka, Arlene Holt Baker and Liz Schuler -- linked the foreclosure crisis to the overall economic crisis facing American workers and set the stage for this follow-up action.

DSA Vice-Chair Harold Meyerson and longtime DSA member and Economic Policy Institute President Larry Mishel served as panelists, speaking on the causes of and possible solutions to the unemployment crisis. Introductory remarks by the local’s co-chairs explicitly linked the event with the One Nation rally. Mishel then laid out the causes of the crisis and outlined some possible ways to bolster the economy, including the establishment of a national infrastructure bank. In all, about 35 people attended the event, including Medea Benjamin of Code Pink/Global Exchange and the chief organizer of DC Jobs With Justice

Trumka spoke to the PES conference on March 15, 2010

Representatives from both sides of the Atlantic were there. Richard Trumka, the President of the AFLCIO, the biggest American Trade Union Federation, spoke from Washington by video link. He outlined the developments on the FTT in the United States. "He stated that the U.S. administration needs to find new revenues for job creation, the FTT provides this opportunity".

To tackle the enormous challenges workers face in the global economy, the American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) - the national federation that represents millions of working women and men in the United States - launched the American Center for International Labor Solidarity in 1997.

The Solidarity Center's mission is to help build a global labor movement by strengthening the economic and political power of workers around the world through effective, independent, and democratic unions. We envision a world . . .

Where working families have a voice in the future through the development of strong, independent free trade unions

Where workers band together as part of an international movement for democracy and social justice

Where all who work and contribute to the global economy are rewarded fairly and equitably

Where governments enforce, and employers respect, the rights of workers

TRUMKA’S PAST – VIOLENCE UNDER HIS REIGN AT UMW

http://socialequality.com/node/603 <http://socialequality.com/node/603>

Over the next 13 years however, Trumka worked to break down the traditions of working class solidarity and militant struggle in the UMW and transform the union into an adjunct of the coal industry. In 1983, the UMW abandoned its traditional policy of “no contract, no work” and industry-wide strike action in favor of the policy of so-called “selective strikes” against individual companies.

This paved the way for the isolation and defeat of the 1984-85 AT Massey strike and the 1989-90 struggle at Pittston coal, which opened the way for a wave of violence by the coal companies and the state that culminated in the frame-up and murder of militant miners.

Rather than organizing mass picketing to defend the 1,500 Pittston strikers and spreading the struggle across the coalfields, Trumka ordered miners to carry out civil disobedience stunts, such as sitting in front of the mine entrances until state troopers hauled them off to jail and appealing to Pittston shareholders at corporate meetings.

While he cowered before the coal operators and the government, Trumka used threats and physical attacks against his opponents, above all the Workers League, the predecessor of the Socialist Equality Party, which was fighting to mobilize all miners in a national strike to defend the Pittston strikers.

http://www.nrtw.org/files/nrtw/Trumka%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf <http://www.nrtw.org/files/nrtw/Trumka%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf>

Trumka’s reign (1982-1995) as president of United Mine Workers (UMW) union was marked by militancy, strikes, and union violence

Trumka’s fiery rhetoric often appeared to condone militancy and violence, especially against workers who dared to continue to provide for their families by working during a strike

“UMWA President Richard Trumka…urged union members to…‘kick the (expletive) out of every last one of ‘em.’”

“You’d have to be very naïve to believe that if management brought in scabs, there won’t be something somewhere.”

“I’m saying if you strike a match and you put your finger in it, you’re likely to get burned. That doesn’t mean I’m threatening to burn you. That just means if you strike the match, and you put your finger in it, common sense will tell you it’ll burn your finger.”

1993 UMW strike against Peabody Coal -- Eddie York, a 39 year old nonunion worker, “was shot in the back of the head and killed” leaving a job in Logan County, West Virginia. “Guards told police the truck careened across the road and went into a ditch. When guards rushed over to check on York, they continued to be pelted with rocks, guards told police.”

In a detailed account of the York murder and subsequent investigation, Reader’s Digest noted that “UMW President Richard Trumka did not publicly discipline or reprimand a single striker present when York was killed. In fact, all eight were helped out financially by the local.” 5

Trumka and other UMW officials were charged in a $27 million wrongful death suit by Eddie York’s widow. After fighting the suit intensely for four years, UMW lawyers settled suddenly in 1997 -- just two days after the judge in the case ruled evidence in the criminal trial would be

admitted.

1985 UMW strike against A.T. Massey Coal -- “At the Sprouse Creek Processing Co., Buddy McCoy was a union man who crossed the picket line to become a foreman. ‘I had a family to care for,’ says McCoy, who received a three-stitch gash in the head from marauding strikers after his defection.”

1989 UMW strike against Pittston Coal -- Virginia Circuit Court Judge Donald McGlothlin Jr. declared that “the evidence shows beyond any shadow of a doubt that violent activities are being organized, orchestrated and encouraged by the leadership of this union.”

Unanimous Virginia Supreme Court reinforced Judge McGlothlin’s findings: “Union officials took active roles in these unlawful activities. Notwithstanding the large fines, the Union never represented to the court that it regretted or intended to cease its lawless actions. To the contrary, the utter defiance of the rule of law continued unabated.”

In a November 2002 L.A. Weekly article <http://www.laweekly.com/ink/02/50/news-corn.php> , The Nation <http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6779> editor David Corn <http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1911> quoted what Borosage had said backstage during an anti-war rally sponsored by International A.N.S.W.E.R. <http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6147> According to Corn, Borosage stated: "This [rally] is easy to dismiss as the radical fringe, but it holds the potential for a larger movement down the road…. History shows that protests are organized first by militant, radical fringe parties and then get taken over by more centrist voices as the movement grows. They provide a vessel for people who want to protest."

TRUMKA ON WISCONSIN

This Isn’t Deficit Control. It’s Assault

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/richard-trumka/this-isnt-deficit-control_b_823912.html <http://www.huffingtonpost.com/richard-trumka/this-isnt-deficit-control_b_823912.html>

This isn't "fiscal responsibility" or "deficit control." It's about the most bald-faced assault on America's middle class I've ever seen -- and clear political payback to CEOs who poured millions into the 2010 elections. CEOs don't like job safety regulations, so the politicians they elected are trying to cut the funding and fire the inspectors. CEOs don't want environmental safeguards, energy improvements or curbs on health insurance companies, so their politicians are pushing to just defund the programs.

This federal budget madness echoes pound-foolish actions we're seeing in state <http://www.aflcio.org/issues/states/> after state, where Republican legislators and governors elected with lucrative CEO support are ignoring the jobs crisis and playing politics as usual with the lives of working families. Govs. Scott Walker in Wisconsin <http://blog.aflcio.org/2011/02/14/wisconsin-says-no-way-to-walkers-budget-bargaining-assault/> and John Kasich in Ohio <http://blog.aflcio.org/2011/02/10/workers-pack-ohio-hearing-to-oppose-attack-on-collective-bargaining/> are determined to end collective bargaining for public employees and deflate good middle-class jobs -- Walker is so determined he's threatened to call out the National Guard to enforce his will. It doesn't matter that definitive studies have shown public employees are paid less than comparable private-sector workers. It doesn't matter that we rely on public employees to care for us when we're ill or in danger, teach our children and keep our communities running. Reality doesn't seem to matter to any of these characters

TRUMKA WISCONSIN BUDGET SOT, “Morning Joe,” MSNBC, 2/22/11

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3096434/#41715202

This governor, Scott Walker, contrived what he calls a shortfall or a deficit so that he can go after workers. I think it’s the most outrageous. We’re seeing it in other states as well. Workers are trying to take the way – the right of American workers to pursue and achieve the American dream.

Public workers get abused continuously. Go to the states where they don’t have collective bargaining and ask them what’s happening. They do get abused and they need a spokesperson. They do realize they are part of the solution. In this world, in the global economy, the best thing we can do is work together.

Q: rich, you just said the governor was told last week that the state employees were willing to go along with the givebacks on health and benefits.

TRUMKA : yes.

Q: if you're taking notes, which you apparently were, he said a few moments ago that nobody told him that directly. is he lying?

TRUMKA: look, he had a press conference where people in the press said, they're willing to accept your concessions. are you willing to compromise? and he said, no, i'm not willing to compromise. i'm not willing to negotiate. if he wants the letter sent to him, we'll send it to him directly. will he negotiate after that? he just told you he would not. he's being unreasonable and he's overreaching here.

TRUMKA ON WISCONSIN COLLECTIVE BARGAINING SOTS – Lawrence O’Donnell’s The Last Word, MSNBC, 2/22/11

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/41726231#41726231

This isn’t about balancing the budget, it’s about a payback for his rich contributors. People like the Koch brothers that are sending millions of dollars into Wisconsin to take away rights from Wisconsin workers. And what he’s doing is hurting every worker right now in Wisconsin, whether a teacher, emt, a public employee. He is hurting their ability to have a middle class life and he shouldn’t be doing that. He got elected to create jobs, not take rights away from everybody.

Can you imagine a country with no labor unions? Who would be the last line of defense against corporate America? People like the Kock brothers who make millions of dollars and want to make more by eliminating the rights of workers in Wisconsin and elsewhere. That’s the future of America that I don’t think any of us want.

TRUMKA ON EGYPT SOT

To our brothers and sister, brave founders of the new independent union in Egypt, and to all Egyptians hungry for social justice. The 12 million members join international labor org, united nations, and the global labor movement to stand in solidarity with you.

TRUMKA WHITE HOUSE SOT - FEB. 18

HOW OFTEN DOES THE WHITE HOUSE -- DO YOU GET TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE WHITE HOUSE?

TRUMKA: CONVERSATIONS OR BE AT THE WHITE HOUSE?

BOTH.

TRUMKA: I'M AT THE WHITE HOUSE A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK -- TWO, THREE TIMES A WEEK.

I HAVE CONVERSATIONS EVERY DAY WITH SOMEONE IN THE WHITE HOUSE OR IN THE ADMINISTRATION.

TRUMKA UNION SOTS, 10/27/10, the Blaze

I got into the labor movement not because I wanted to negotiate wages. I got into the labor movement because I saw it as a vehicle to do massive social change to improve the lots of people.

I’ve been trying to build permanent coalitions. We’ve been asking our state heads and central labor councils to reach out and start building permanent coalitions with young workers groups, with student groups, with religious groups. Anybody that’s a progressive group to bring them in and actually make them part of the structure.

SOTS & QUOTES ABOUT TRUMKA

SOT: TRUMKA MILITANT, PBS, SEPT. 18, 2009

http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/09182009/transcript2.html

BILL FLETCHER: Well, first of all, I think that the election of Richard Trumka has a great deal of potential. Because

BILL MOYERS: The new president of the AFL-CIO.

BILL FLETCHER: The new president of the

BILL MOYERS: Why?

BILL FLETCHER: Because Trumka comes out of a history of militancy. He you know, in terms of his vision of the United Mine Workers that he led. His emphasis on organizing. His clarity on the nature of the economic crisis that we've been facing. And what he has articulated so far. And all I can say, this is a hope, is the notion that we have to engage in that confrontation that you're describing. We have to do much more massive organizing. Particularly of the poor, the increasingly poor sections of the working class. So, I think that there's a vision here. And I can't overstate this issue of vision. Because it's not simply the technique of unions putting resources into organizing. People have to feel compelled that there's a vision of success, but a vision of a different kind of country. And indeed, a different kind of world.

QUOTE: Leo W. Gerard, president of the United Steelworkers, the nation’s largest industrial union, cites Trumka’s “ intellectual capacity to do the job,” as well as his “great heart and passion to fight for issues that matter to America’s working families.”

Leo Gerard SOT – PA Progressive Conference Jan. 2011

And we won’t get there sitting on our asses. And we won’t get writing letters. We’ll get there when we understand we have an agenda worth fighting for. And if we have to take to the streets and do the things that have to be done…

QUOTE: Rich Trumka has demonstrated his courage as a trade unionist throughout his career,” says Gerald McEntee, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). “He has terrific leadership skills. He knows the inner workings of labor, and will be forceful and aggressive in strengthening the voice of America’s working families.”

Gerald McEntee has ties to former SDS radicals Paul & Heather Booth who founded the Midwest Academy. Paul Booth is McEntee’s assistant and advisor.

QUOTE: Poul Rasmussen <http://www.keywiki.org/index.php?title=Poul_Rasmussen&action=edit&redlink=1> , president, Party of European Socialists <http://www.keywiki.org/index.php?title=Party_of_European_Socialists&action=edit&redlink=1> , and co-chair of the Global Progressive Forum <http://www.keywiki.org/index.php?title=Global_Progressive_Forum&action=edit&redlink=1> has stated of Trumka, “This is one of the most progressive people in the United States of America."

Leaked contemporaneous notes reveal Anita Dunn's 6-month crafting of ultra-MAGA 'slam' on Trump

Gage Skidmore/Flickr

Anyone paying attention can see that President Biden is in dire straights come 2024, regardless of who his opponent may be. His administration has been workshopping several ideas to try and craft just the right message. One that will cut through all the noise (failures) and put him on a more solid footing should he go head-to-head in a rematch with the former President.

Biden called in the big guns and he wasn't afraid to call in a few favors either. He drew on his stint as VP and called Anita Dunn out of the bullpen and tapped the Center for American Progress Action Fund to try and help pull this one out. After an exhaustive six-month-long study into how President Trump was able to summon the magic of MAGA — they finally feel they have the winning message.

Dunn has gotten sloppy, however, since her days in the Obama administration. We obtained her contemporaneous notes and emails showing how they coined the term "ultra-MAGA," trying to get a little "extra pop" to his rhetoric. The leaked emails also show the evolution of the messaging over that same six-month period.

[The preceding Memo was a parody written by MRA writers Josh Jennings and Jon Boldt – not the Biden administration.]

Biden crime family: Why Hunter’s secrets are REALLY about Joe

Almost every week, new incriminating evidence is mined from Hunter’s wild laptop. And the proof is mounting that President Joe Biden is lying about his knowledge of his family’s crooked deal-making. Everyone knows Hunter Biden is a seriously degenerate guy. Anyone who has handled his infamous laptop needs a tetanus shot.

The salacious stuff on the laptop is sad and pathetic for sure, but that stuff is NOT what is most relevant to the United States. Glenn Beck exposes how the laptop is REALLY about Joe Biden, his abuse of power as vice president, and his ongoing denials now as president.

Now that the 2020 election has passed and their man is in office, the mainstream media have suddenly decided to admit Hunter’s laptop is not Russian disinformation after all. No one has done more research into the Biden family corruption than journalist and best-selling author Peter Schweizer. He has researched the depths of Hunter’s laptop and found more than racy photos. “These aren’t HUNTER’S business deals,” Peter says, “they benefit the WHOLE family.” And he has the emails to prove it.

But the mainstream media still insist President Biden is as pure as his thinning white hair in all of this. As Glenn reveals tonight, he is not. But will anyone in the Biden family see jail time? Americans are fed up with two sets of rules – one for regular citizens and one for the ruling elites.

Top 5 times corporate WOKENESS crossed the line

Intelligent people know that wokerness plagues society and must be ridiculed and eradicated from conversations. But what happens when people lose their jobs for calling out the absurdity of woke ideology? What happens when corporations and media sources weaponize wokeness?

Here are five videos that will help us better understand a few of the many issues that wokeness inflicts on society and how we can stand against it.

Bye bye, Target. You crossed the line!

In this clip, BlazeTV host Allie Stuckey of "Relatable" explains how Target recently announced the sale of chest binders and "packing underwear" for women. She expresses how children can be negatively impacted by the sale of confusing clothing items for people suffering from gender dysphoria and the importance of loving the body God gave us.

Today, Allie notices that Target's stock experienced a 35-year record drop. Apparel was named as one of the two underperforming departments. Was pushback from critics of gender-affirming apparel the cause? It is hard to tell, but Allie encourages her audience to continue speaking out when corporations cross the line by making harmful products available for sale to the public.

Wokeness can get you fired

In this clip, Stu Burguiere covers a story about a man who challenged Black Lives Matter using nothing but data and was fired.

Here's the story: "I had been at Thomson Reuters for over six years—most recently, leading a team of data scientists applying new machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms to our legal, tax and news data. We advised any number of divisions inside the company, including Westlaw, an online legal research service used by most every law firm in the country, and the newsroom, which reaches an audience of one billion every day around the globe. I briefed the Chief Technology Officer regularly. My total annual compensation package exceeded $350,000." Read more

Coca-Cola circumvents Constitution with TERRIFYING mandates on diversity

Glenn Beck loves Coca-Cola. So much so, in fact, that he refuses to drink Pepsi if Coke isn't available. But ... he says the time has come for him to give up his favorite soda. Why? Because Coca-Cola just announced some terrifying new company policies on diversity and equity. It sent out notices to all partnered law firms, demanding a required percentage of diverse attorneys on any legal team working for the corporation. The notice says all legal teams also must report these numbers quarterly and they will lose Coca-Cola's business if they do not comply.

"Equity is not the same thing as equality," Glenn said, adding that equality means we all have an equal chance, while equality means we all have the same outcome.

Glenn explains how mandates like this could affect everybody — even the guy working on the factory line or the truck driver delivering the drinks. Glenn also explains how Coke's new move is nothing less than a circumvention of the Constitution, and he predicts more companies (especially those in support of the Great Reset) will follow with similar policies, too.

Coca-Cola takes a 'pause' on woke initiatives after after pressure from the Right

Glenn followed up on a story about Coca-Cola becoming the poster child for how a corporation could shove leftist ideologies onto its consumers. The company suspended advertising on Facebook in a push to censor former President Donald Trump, published a manifesto about racial equity, and demanded all legal teams working for Coke meet certain diversity quotas.

But, after Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), and many other conservative voices called for a boycott of the company's products, Coca-Cola appeared to shift directions.

Calvin Klein's gender blender ruins sex and Mothers' Day

Chad Prather reflected back to the Great Depression era of enticing photographic entertainment, otherwise known as the callow and deprived years of his youth, when a Calvin Klein pictorial of old would have represented something exciting, something to, say, think about at the end of the day. Had he run across this present weird concept at that age, he would have either been disgusted on sight … or possibly really disgusted when his dumb a** put two and two together the next day. Anyway, his point is: Has the whole world gone crazy? Do we really need this? At this inclusive embracing point in our recent history, what in the world makes Calvin Klein feel the need to be the standard-bearer for a lifestyle screamed largely into existence by a very vocal minority?

Former Disney artist SPEAKS OUT: ‘It’s time to do something’

A former Disney artist, who wishes to remain anonymous, joins Glenn to describe WHY he recently took action against his former employer: ‘I'm tired of watching my country go down the drain. And it's time to do something.’ Today’s woke Disney is not what Walt once imagined, he says, and his recent video release — "It’s A Woke World After All" — exposes Disney’s large stray from its roots ...

DEBUNKED: The Buffalo killer is NOT a 'mainstream Republican'

Rolling Stone magazine on Sunday published an article that argued in no uncertain terms that the suspect who grotesquely took the lives of ten people in Buffalo, New York, last weekend was a "mainstream Republican."

Like so many in the corporate media, the article's author Talia Lavin — who in 2018 resigned from the New Yorker after falsely accusing a combat-wounded veteran and ICE agent of having a Nazi tattoo — has painted the Buffalo killer as a right-wing, white supremacist, Tucker Carlson-worshipping conservative who is "gripped by a racist delusion."

On the radio program Tuesday, Glenn Beck revealed what the killer actually wrote in his alleged "manifesto," which proves he was far from a freedom-loving constitutionalist, and explained why blatantly ignoring his words will only make the problem worse.

"The corporate media has, from the very get-go, tried to associate [the killer] with the Republicans, to say that he's a conservative, to say that he got all of his training from Tucker Carlson," Glenn began. "But you know it's weird, in the 180-page document authored by the shooter, he doesn't mention Tucker Carlson — not even once. Not at all. There is one mention of Fox News, and it's an infographic showing the top Fox News host, such as Maria Bartiromo and Greg Gutfeld, as being Jewish. He also says Rupert Murdoch is a Christian Zionist who may have Jewish ancestry though it's never been publicly admitted," he continued.

"Oh, another thing. Ben Shapiro is mentioned multiple times, including as an example as the 'rat of the Jewish people.' So gosh, that doesn't sound conservative to me, doesn't sound Republican, doesn't sound like he's learned anything from anybody that is on the right. Moreover, he has described himself as an ethno-nationalist and eco-fascist national socialist. He loathes libertarianism and conservatism in particular."

Watch the video clip below to hear more of the criminal's own words, which prove he was no right-winger and certainly NOT a "mainstream Republican."
