Hello Democrats! I’m Rich Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO.
It’s great to be in Philadelphia—a proud union town! Working people built this stage. And together we are going to build a new era of shared prosperity.
Working people are strong. And Donald Trump is wrong, wrong, wrong.
Listen, he thinks he's a tough guy. Well, Mr. Trump, I worked in the mines with tough guys. I know tough guys, and they are friends of mine. And Donald, you’re no tough guy.
Donald Trump has repeatedly outsourced American jobs to line his own pockets. He rooted for the housing collapse. He actually said that wages are “too high.”
Donald Trump isn’t the solution to America’s problems. He is the problem.
Working people—we have the solutions. We are building a national movement for a better life, no matter the color of our skin, where we were born, who we love, or how we worship.
We set the bar high. And Hillary Clinton answered our call.
In this election, she is fighting to rewrite the economic rules for all of us! She has a bold plan to invest in manufacturing, infrastructure and jobs. She opposes the job-killing Trans-Pacific Partnership. She will protect workplace rights, stand up to Wall Street, and finally, finally secure equal pay for equal work!
So get on your feet, Democrats. Let’s change the rules! Let’s take back Congress! Let’s win a pro-worker Supreme Court! And let’s elect Hillary Clinton the next President of the United States!
