The well-fed Union boss, AFL-CIO’s Richard Trumka, took to the pages of
The Wall Street Journal to blast an article by investigative journalist Kimberly Strassel.
Strassel alleged that Big Labor’s insistence on having the PRO Act codified into the infrastructure bill is hampering bipartisan discussion and passage. Republicans recently countered with a $928 billion package, and Biden has shifted his former Memorial Day deadline, but rumbling on the ground reflects that this is not something that will be settled quickly; the PRO Act provision still resident in the bill is probably why.
