Happy Birthday Richard Trumka

http://www.workdayminnesota.org/index.php?history_9_07_24_2011

July 24, 1949 - Richard Trumka, the fiery leader of the United Mine Workers, was born. The son of coal miners, he attended law school and rose through the ranks of the union to become one of the country’s youngest union presidents. In 1995, he was elected secretary-treasurer of the AFL-CIO on a slate with John Sweeney.
