West Virginia Blue covered the election of Richard Trumka to be the new AFL-CIO president. In an email Trumka reiterates labor's commitment to ending discrimination: "We want a nation where it doesn't matter what the color of your skin is...or what sex or religion you are...or whether you're gay or straight or what country your family's from because here, in America, we believe everyone ought to have their chance to step into the winner's circle."
