Washington, DC - The Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance, AFL-CIO mourns the unexpected passing of AFL-CIO President Richard L. Trumka.
Trumka dedicated his life to fighting for working people. He was a resolute voice for empowering Asian American and Pacific Islander and immigrant workers in the labor movement. He was also a strong supporter of APALA and our work. We continue our work in his legacy.
APALA members send our love and condolences to Trumka’s family and all those he has impacted. He will be deeply missed.
