Richard Trumka, AFL-CIO president, predicts that Democrats will defy conventional wisdom and keep control of the Senate and House in November. But if Republicans take over even just the House, 'any chance of progress will be ended,' says the union leader.

What if the GOP regains control of the House in November? "Any chance of progress will be ended," says AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka. "You will go back to the economy that we saw where corporate and Wall Street ran wild."

1. why can't we have more guys like this...

who have the balls to stand up and say what they believe, and what is right??? Remember when there was this little five-letter word? T R U T H....where has that gone? God, I wish I could join a union, I really admire Richard Trumka and all of you Union folks!

2. Hes completely right

everyone in this country needs to understand that if the repubs take the house or senate, the next two years are a wash. Literally nothing positive at all will be done as things get progressively worse. For those of you who aren't motivated or enthusiastic, you need to realize that your apathy will allow this country to flounder for two solid years.

4. ROFL! Someone Pushing The Rahm As The Anti-Christ Meme

Yup, Rahm Emmanuel has apparently mystical powers such that he is just as bad as a Republican controlled Congress. Do you really believe that or are you kidding?
