To honor the federal holiday celebrating the American labor movement, President Trump decided to attack an American labor leader. AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, who represents more than 12 million union members, appeared on Fox News Sunday and said that the things Trump has "done to hurt workers outpace what he's done to help workers." On Monday morning, the President shot back via Twitter.



It is easy to see why unions are doing so poorly—they’ve sustained a generation’s worth of attacks like the Supreme Court's recent Janus decision. Only about 10% of workers were union members in 2017, down from 20% in 1983.
