RUSH EXCERPT:
TRUMKA: “Meanwhile, the rich continue to hoard unprecedented money and power. While people who build the wealth are working harder and longer for less with less dignity in harsher and more dangerous workplaces. In the last 30 years, the top 1% has increased in wealth by $21 trillion. In that same time, the wealth of the bottom percent has decreased by $900 billion. We are faced with the reality of historic inequality and rising bigotry that goes all the way to the top.”
