The AFL-CIO categorically rejects all threats to the peaceful transition of power. The labor movement simply will not allow any breach of the US Constitution or other effort to deny the will of the people.

America’s workers will continue to be steadfast in defense of our democracy in the face of President Trump’s antics, and we stand ready to do our part to ensure his defeat in this election is followed by his removal from office.
