When taking a look at the article by David Cook from The Christian Science Monitor, I took into question whether the article was going to be worthwhile and present information I did not already know.
Upon clicking on the tab for politics in the USA, I stumbled upon this article titled, "AFL-CIO leader: Hillary needs a primary, Obama needs bold action". A feeble amount of information was appealing to my interest being that I update myself on immigration news regularly and am well aware that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been people approved to run as Democratic candidate for POTUS 2016.
Nonetheless, I assured myself that the article would spark a sense
of satisfaction of knowing what has been picking up dust in the political arena
these past few days. Cook starts off by stating how saying how AFL-CIO
President Richard Trumka "praises" Clinton and would endorse her come
due time, but at the moment was not going to commit himself to such an early
compromise, and just recognizes that she is a qualified candidate.
Trumka does this for two reasons. The first
is that any selection of one particular candidate can be “dangerous” because it
is too early to tell and that any presidential candidate needs to build a
grassroots campaign base. Trumka wants to seek out potential candidates to see
what kind of economic team the candidate would build for the organization.
As for Obama, Cook writes that Trumka noted the the president had two ways to use his executive powers. The first was to make a bold move on immigration would be affirmative action for workers to come out of the shadows, but that would make the right wing very unstable. The mild move would be to do anything less and "energize the right but not the center or left.
