Trump undermined workers\u2019 rights. Trump rolled back workplace safety rules. Cut employment and job training programs. Incentivized companies to ship jobs overseas while rigging the economy for the wealthy and big corporations. He delivered massive tax giveaways to the extremely rich and big corporations while not lifting a finger to help struggling working people in Erie and so many other communities around the country. That\u2019s Donald Trump\u2019s record of failure. Working people know the difference between delivering for workers and delivering hot air. And workers know we have a champion in the White House in President Joe Biden. That\u2019s the truth,\u201d <strong>said AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond.<\/strong> \u201cPresident Biden has our back and that&#8217;s why we will have his back in 2024, so that he can continue to build an economy that works for all working people.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cDonald Trump ran for president on a promise to stand up for workers, but I watched firsthand as he spent four years letting down working families in Pennsylvania and across the country\u2026 Let\u2019s look at the effects of Trump\u2019s policies that hit us hard in Pennsylvania. His failure in handling the pandemic had a catastrophic effect on Pennsylvania\u2019s economy. The Trump tax plan threw crumbs to Pennsylvania\u2019s workers while creating $2T in tax breaks for the wealthy that added over 30% to our national debt. He shrunk Pennsylvania\u2019s manufacturing jobs by over 23,000 in 4 years. Specifically, he left us here in Erie County with fewer manufacturing jobs than when he took office,\u201d <strong>said T.J. Sandell of Erie, PA, a union plumber with Plumbers Local 27 and President of the Great Lakes Building and Construction Trades Council.<\/strong> \u201cJoe Biden has been a champion for working people his entire career, he\u2019s the only person we can trust to look out for the working people of Pennsylvania and this country.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond and T.J.
