by Mike Hall, Nov 30, 2010

In a nearly 30-minute interview with progressive radio and TV commentator Thom Hartmann, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka talks about jobs, the economy, Republican obstructionism, union solidarity, global economic problems and his path from the Pennsylvania coal mines to the AFL-CIO�s top job.

On the show, Hartmann�s �The Big Picture,� Trumka says, �The only thing on most people�s minds right now is the economy and jobs�but have said �no� to every job program out there.�

Hartmann asks if the strategy behind the Republicans� blockade of unemployment insurance, job creation and economic stimulus legislation is �because they actually want the economy to continue going in the tank because that is their strategy for 2012?� Replies Trumka:

Mitch McConnell just said his number one priority is stopping Obama from being re-elected. If the economy gets better, Obama�s going to get re-elected. And I think some of it is about stopping the economy�.But I really don�t want to embrace that because I really don�t want to think that people we�ve elected don�t want the economy to get back to where it was.
