Leslie is joined by Richard Trumka, President of the AFL-CIO. With 12.5 million members, the AFL-CIO is the largest organization of labor unions in the country.

They discuss how, despite Donald Trump tapping into the very real and understandable anger of working people, his pitch to them is nothing but a scam. President Trumka also highlights some examples of this like Trump's support for 'Right to Work' and Wisconsin's Union-busting Governor, Scott Walker.

They also discuss Trump's comments that wages are already too high, and how he's fighting tooth and nail against workers at his hotel in Las Vegas.

An outspoken advocate for social and economic justice, President Trumka is the nation’s clearest voice on the critical need to raise workers’ wages in this slow and painful economic recovery.

He heads the labor movement’s efforts to create an economy based on broadly shared prosperity and to hold government and employers accountable to working families.
