Trump is relatively quiet the last few days, maybe because of the Mar-A-Lago cancellations-again the pocketbook.

But Randi may have come to her senses after DeVos rejected her idea and after catching some hell from below and finally opening up with a few polemical exchanges with DeVos.

I added that in above. You know you're not doing well as a union leader when the CEO of Walmart shows more political courage and awareness than you. Thanks again for paying attention.Mike Klonskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02017021676773731024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133521035538248322.post-32917043189407539632017-08-18T07:50:00.485-05:002017-08-18T07:50:00.485-05:00I don't see much difference between Trumka'...I don't see much difference between Trumka's seat-at-the-table opportunism and that of AFT Pres. Randi Weingarten. Back in April, she was still offering to do joint school visits with Betsy DeVos even as school parents were trying to block DeVos from entering their children's schools.
