Trumka-AFL/CIO chief hates Walmart plan to hire vets

This is some of the purest Orwellian ‘tru-speak’ I have ever seen.

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka bashed President Obama and Vice President Biden for “valorizing” Walmart pledges to hire returning veterans.

“Walmart’s recent announcement of a plan to hire returning honorably discharged veterans is more about public relations than honoring our heroes,” Trumka said. “That this effort was valorized by President Obama and Vice President Biden reflects an acceptance of economic failure out of line with America’s history or future.

“We owe it to our returning veterans to make sure they are treated as the heroes they are, rather than as symbols used to “greenwash” Walmart’s eroding brand. After facing enemies abroad, is an $8.81 an hour part-time job the best we can offer returning veterans?”

And before 2 minutes of hate begins we quote Mr. Trumka once more

“I didn’t get into the labor movement to negotiate wages; I got into it to bring social change!”
