We passed a tragic milestone Monday with half a million Americans lost to COVID-19. So many of them our sisters, brothers and friends. But as we mourn, we must harden our resolve. We’re America’s labor movement. We’re at our best during difficult times like these. Our communities across the country are relying on us to do our part to keep our country going and defeat the coronavirus. We won’t let them down. -- AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka.
