Former Pennsylvania coal miner Richard Trumka isn’t president of America’s biggest labor federation yet, but he’s already cranking up rhetoric on issues from healthcare reform to making it easier to unionize.
When President Barack Obama and Democrats in Congress first showed signs of compromise on healthcare reform, the incoming AFL-CIO leader warned lawmakers to keep a controversial plan for a government-run insurance option or feel labor’s wrath in the 2010 congressional elections.
The warning drew attention in political circles since the 60-year-old union lawyer is unopposed to replace John Sweeney as president of the 56-union AFL-CIO at its annual convention next week in Pittsburgh.
But experts say Trumka’s combative approach — even when backed by 11 million AFL-CIO members and union support for Obama in the 2008 presidential race — may not bring success for organized labor’s priorities, including legislation to make it easier for unions to organize and expand into companies that now have little or no labor representation.
“Every time there’s a presidential election, organized labor works their heart out for the Democratic candidate. And every time the Democratic candidate wins, organized labor discovers that its agenda is put on the back burner,” said Robert Reich, who was labor secretary under Bill Clinton.
