AFSCME's Gerald McEntee Says Labor Will Hold Politicians Accountable

American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees President Gerald McEntee.

: “America took its red hot anger and turned it into blue votes in precinct after precinct. And today is a new day in America.”

McEntee says labor was instrumental in Democratic victories nationwide and expects Congress to stand up for working families on a range of issues.

: “We’re counting on this new slate of leaders to help workers just as we helped them achieve so many victories. AFSCME and the AFL-CIO played an instrumental role in yesterday’s outcome. The house of labor helped elect many strong pro-worker leaders. We’re gonna hold them accountable.”
