Trumka and other labor leaders to address racial injustice on Wednesday

Join leaders of the labor movement Wednesday for a Facebook Live conversation about the death of George Floyd and how the labor movement is recommitting to the fight to eradicate systemic racism in America.

These days—and the ones ahead—will define the labor movement for generations to come. America faces a crisis on three fronts: the pandemic, the historic levels of unemployment and the struggle for racial justice. Fighting for a fair and just society is nothing new to us in the labor movement. It’s what we do, and it’s what we've always done," said a statement from AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka. "Locking arms in solidarity, we will overcome these challenges and guarantee that America’s workers have the freedom to be safe on the job, the freedom to provide for our families, and the freedom from systemic discrimination and racism."
