MAJOR Labor Unions SLAM Green New Deal, Would HURT Working Class. The AFL-CIO issued a letter to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ed Markey saying that the Green New deal would hurt millions of its members and they would not allow these issue to go unanswered. The AFL-CIO is the largest federation of labor unions and historically supports Democratic and leftist proposals. With so many major 2020 Democratic contenders signing on to AOC's Green New Deal it seems there is a major disconnect between what working Americans and the left actually wants and what high profile progressives think they want. Far left and social justice rhetoric seemingly creates a tiny bubble on social media where these politicians occupy and they don't actually think about working families and their needs.
