Third-Party Descriptions

January 2011: 'Richard Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO, sent out an e-mail Monday night that also seemed to be aimed at prominent Republicans. "When there's talk of 'target lists' illustrated by gun sights," he wrote, "when there's talk of 'Second Amendment remedies' for political problems, when vitriol has gone as far as it did in the recent election season, it must be condemned as dangerous and unacceptable by leaders and citizens across the political spectrum."'

April 2010: '"This incident isn't just a matter of happenstance, but rather the inevitable result of a profit-driven system and reckless corporate conduct," Richard L. Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO and former head of the United Mine Workers of America, said Tuesday. "Many mining companies have given too little attention to safety over the years and too much to the bottom line." He pointed to Massey's safety violations and its failure to pay many of those fines while contesting them.'
