Trumka: Obama has done a lot for the labor movement [VIDEO] | The Daily Caller: "WASHINGTON — AFL-CIO President Richard L. Trumka said Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney “doesn’t understand” what working people “go through every day,” while President Barack Obama has “absolutely” done a lot for the labor movement.

“Has he [Obama] done everything he can for the labor movement? That’s a simple answer. No one has ever done that — no president has ever done that. Has he done a lot for the labor movement? Absolutely he has,” Trumka said at a Thursday briefing with reporters in Washington.

“Has he done a lot for working people? Absolutely he has.”

Trumka predicted an Obama victory in November and said Romney does not “identify” with the working class.

“When it comes to working people, there’s no contest,” he said. “Barack Obama is more for working people than Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney is for the very rich. He doesn’t identify with us.”"
