Thanks to Jeff Wiggins for sending us this statement from AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka:

The scourge of police violence against black people in America has reached a tipping point. Our labor movement will take comprehensive action to end this injustice once and for all. Union members live and work in every state and every community, so when police brutality occurs, it happens in our backyards and to our families. We have a special responsibility in the wake of George Floyd’s murder to support our civil rights allies and play a leading role in making sure this time is different.
