. . . Dianne Lob, Chair, William Daroff, CEO, and Malcolm Hoenlein, Vice Chair of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, issued the following statement:
“We mourn the sudden and tragic passing of Richard Trumka, who served as President of the AFL–CIO labor federation for more than a decade.
He was a dedicated labor leader on the national stage, a strong supporter of the special US-Israel relationship, and a devoted friend of the American Jewish community. We were privileged to engage with Mr. Trumka in meaningful dialogue on vital issues as pictured above in 2018 with Conference leaders Arthur Stark, Malcolm Hoenlein, and Stuart Appelbaum, President of Jewish Labor Committee.
We express our condolences to his family and to the leaders and members of the AFL-CIO.”
