WITH US-Mexico talks on a “new Nafta” heating up and facing a deadline to send a pact to Capitol Hill, union leaders met President Donald Trump at the White House on August 21 to warn him against making a bad deal.
AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka led the delegation, which included Steelworkers’ president Leo Gerard. Trumka issued a warning flag for the president in advance and the others stayed mum.
