Statement by AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka On President Obama’s Jobs Speech

Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–September 8, 2011.  The President took an important and necessary step tonight: he started a serious national conversation about how to solve our jobs crisis.  He showed working people that he is willing to go to the mat to create new jobs on a substantial scale.  Tonight’s speech should energize the nation to come together, work hard and get serious about jobs.
