AFL-CIO president says Romney doesn't know hard work

President of one of the largest unions, Richard Trumka, said Mitt Romney "doesn’t know a thing about hard work."

“Last week Mitt Romney told us that he and his friend built America without any help from the rest of us,” Trumka, president of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL–CIO) said Wednesday night at the Democratic convention. “Let me tell you, Mitt Romney doesn’t know a thing about hard work or responsibility. We’re the ones who built America.”

Trumka resoundingly endorsed President Obama as better for Americans than the GOP nominee, Mitt Romney.

“Prosperity requires economic security and we will stand with leaders who strengthen and protect Social Security and Medicare, not those who want to cut the benefits earned by hard working people,” Trumka said. “Our country needs unity, our country needs leadership, our country needs Barak Obama.”
