OAKLAND, Calif., June 9 /PRNewswire/ -- The California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee today endorsed Richard Trumka to lead the U.S. labor movement as the next President of American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO).

Trumka, the current AFL-CIO Secretary Treasurer, would succeed retiring President John Sweeney. In statements today, leaders of the 86,000 member CNA/NNOC, the nation's largest RN union and professional association, praised both Trumka and Sweeney.

"Rich Trumka is a bold, strategic, and a fighting leader," said CNA/NNOC Executive Director Rose Ann DeMoro, a national Vice-President of the AFL-CIO. "His uncommon and uncompromising spirit, and his passion for working people and social change are especially needed in this critical juncture for America's workers and unions."

"For the past two decades, America's nurses have not had a better friend and ally than Rich Trumka," said CNA Co-President Deborah Burger, RN.

"From his exceptional stewardship as a former President of the United Mine Workers to his current role in the AFL-CIO, Trumka has stood with nurses and patients in confronting the ravages of corporate medical care and in defending the rights and standards of CNA/NNOC members and other working nurses," said Burger.
