Trumka To Blast Palin’s ‘Poisonous’ Rhetoric On Unions The Hill reports that AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka will deliver a speech today in Anchorage, Alaska, slamming former Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) for anti-union rhetoric. “And down in Tyler, Texas, she’s talking about — and I quote — ‘union thugs.’ What? Her husband’s a union man. Is she calling him a thug? Sarah Palin ought to know what union men and women are,” Trumka will say. “That’s poisonous. There’s history behind that rhetoric. That’s how bosses and politicians in decades past justified the terrorizing of workers, the murdering of organizers.”
