Rich Trumka died today from a heart attack. The reason I was a few minutes late coming out, and I apologize for that, I was talking to his wife and to his son who called. He was an American worker, always fighting for working people, protecting their wages, their safety, their pensions, and their ability to build a middle-class life. I`ve also believed that the middle class build America, but I know who built the middle class, the unions. The unions built the middle class. And there`s no doubt that Rich Trumka help build unions all across this country.
