The American labor movement loses one of the best leaders it has ever seen

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : I often disagreed with Trumka on his approach to one of the trickiest issues in organized labor -- climate change and green energy.
48% : Moreover, Trumka helped bridge the gap between the Biden administration's support of green energy projects and the building trades' hostility toward them, creating space for real discussion between the president and the labor movement.
44% : The Laborers Union has led the way inside the labor tent in fighting green energy with its president, Terry O'Sullivan, often denigrating alternative energy sources and antagonizing other unions that tried to ally the labor movement with environmentalists.
