BCTGM MOURNS THE LOSS OF AFL-CIO PRESIDENT RICHARD TRUMKA

BCTGM International President Anthony Shelton issued the following statement on the passing of AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka:

“The BCTGM is deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our Brother and friend Rich Trumka.  Brother Trumka was a visionary leader and powerful and highly effective voice for working men and women. He was tireless in the defense of workers’ rights and the advancement of economic, social and racial justice at home and around the world. 

Rich Trumka was a loyal and devoted friend to the BCTGM.  Regardless of the cause or fight, Rich always stood shoulder-to-shoulder with our Union and our members.  The BCTGM is eternally grateful for his steadfast support and friendship.

Our hearts and prayers are with Rich and his family at this difficult time.”
