LANSING, Mich. While speaking to the Chicago Economic Club today, Trump suggested working at auto assembly plants is so easy a child could do it. In response, Michigan AFL-CIO President Ron BIEBER issued the following statement:
Trump is attacking auto workers on almost a daily basis and its clear he couldnt have less respect for the work we do. Donald Trump has never done a hard days work in his life. If he thinks working at an auto plant is so easy a child could do it, then he should be the first in line to try. Until Trump actually understands the skill it takes to build a vehicle with your bare hands, he should keep autoworkers out of his lying mouth.
The Michigan AFL-CIO, Michigans largest labor organization, is a federation representing forty different labor organizations, eighteen different central labor councils, and eight constituency groups representing over 1 million union members and their families.
