David Huerta, June 6, June 6, June 6, June 6, June 6 president was arrested on June 6 during the demonstration against an immigration and customs guards (ice) in the clothing district of Los Angeles. Its eclipse, set off alarm calls between the associations and organized labor, Trump’s immigration strikes will play a big role in the saga.
More protests are planned for this weekend, but may be the next few months Critical for associationsor inability to be successfully left behind the President’s policy.
Fortune Huerta’s arrest, afl-CIO’s long-term plans and the Federation of America’s largest Labor Associations, the TRUMP Management Federation sat with the Shuler to lead the Trump Management Federation.
“It is definitely built for this,” he says. “The Labor Movement endured all kinds of politicians with the ups and downs.”
This interview was edited and condensed.
What are your thoughts on David Huerta’s arrest?
We are definitely relieved that he was released with his family and reunited. Many pressures were created on the ground. The Labor Movement, in 24 hours a 24 hour, in this way, in so many ways, in many ways, in many ways in 30 cities of the country, really came together in many ways.
We know that this is more than just one person. This is now thousands of employees who target ice in jobs. And (know) Contributing to our economy and employees of the communities and employees contribute to our economy and trust in communities, although societies are a cloud of fear.
Thus, we combined “Free David” requirement to end ice raids in their workplaces because it is not synchronized with objective ice claims. They are looking for criminals, not only people working every day trying to do their jobs.
What tactics are Afl-CIO right now at a time?
We are always doing what we do, this is also protesting against peaceful injustice. We have been doing this since we arise. (We “only stands only with the members of the Union and 63 colleagues and civil rights groups and community partners. We show and talk to people who work.
When it comes to a workplace or sent to the National Guardian, people will not talk to promote this fear to promote this fear, they will not talk to their rights. Indeed, the work is that it really helps people to help these voice and security, to help protect them from the damage and respects to the work and to participate in these damage.
In addition to the protest, what are the strategies you have placed in order to fight the administration policy?
I think there is a very large tool box, which is really unique in connection with the labor movement. Community level, protests, rallies, actions – these are part of those tools, but not the only tools.
We place strategies in the Congress in the courts. We know that we have a pension fund investment, as well as goals. We are the only institution that has a local labor supply network in every situation in the country and in this country. We have access to people and jobs where we can use a momentary warning to learn and train and activate.
We just close the store and move after David’s release (we were). This is just the beginning.
Do you have other organization strategies, especially between your base?
One of the things you hit me, how you get a visit from the ice and how it is unprepared, how it stabilizes it. So what we are trying to do is to inform people about how to answer and know their rights. And it’s a very simple thing, but I think it’s really something that he flew off the radar – that you have defined this idea, but it gives you more confidence to not be afraid if you are armed with this information.
We have developed this Incredible tool set Our local community leaders, our small cities or communities, we distribute a wide and wide range, it will be waiting for the least. I think it’s really an amplifier to know where something happens to be at least for people and something like this happens.
How do you approach the difficulties during both short-term and long-term grounds during the second Trump Office?
The first 100 days, their design was to continue to defend us. (There was), there was a new attack every day in our heels. Our short-term strategy has been mobilized in a natural strategy and place. (We) felt that the federal government is so far away by showing and using our voice and use it to destroy the dog and operate people at his society level.
We started to Department of people working to live Because we said that if Elon Musk branch can stand up, we can endure and translate our employees for our department.
Plan for a longer period of time. We build our muscles. We had nationwide events every month during the break in the Congress and doubled each month. Thus, as a sketch, we plan a summer starting to reconsider this tool box. We were concerned about the concept of this constitution protection.
Depending on what is happening in the country, the labor movement is flexible and sensitive and can respond to action any time and move to action any day. The temperature on the ground and will be related to what we are going out of this control.
