Statement by BCTGM International President Anthony Shelton on Justice for George Floyd:

We condemn the shocking and horrible death of George Floyd.

Racism causes pain to people of color every day in America. As we have throughout history, the BCTGM will continue to stand together against racism, inequality and injustice.

The BCTGM categorically rejects violence and the destruction of property.

We stand in unity with the AFL-CIO and the incredibly poignant statement made this morning by AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka that thoughtfully and meaningfully addresses the issues facing our movement.

As President Trumka states, racism is a labor issue because it is faced by workers every single day in their workplaces. It is a community issue because unions are the community.

The BCTGM remains united with the labor movement as we pledge to continue our fight for social, economic and racial justice.
