CAUTION - Community Organizers At Work

AFL-CIO President Richard L. Trumka, who was a third-generation coal miner before going into labor leadership, tells POLITICO that more than 10,000 union supporters will 'march on Wall Street' on April 29 in support of a financial-transactions tax, and higher taxes on private-equity and hedge funds. The march coincides with Senate action on financial regulatory reform, an Obama administration priority for the spring. Workers will flood subways and buses will clog downtown, with union 'marshals' to prevent 'counterproductive' antics, Trumka said in a video interview. 'People will be talking, yelling, chanting, and letting America -- and letting Wall Street, particularly -- know that their brand of economics, where the financial economy overshadows the real economy, is no longer acceptable, that we want them to help pay for the jobs that they destroyed,' Trumka said. 'There'll be a lot of people and a lot of energy, and it will be a lot of fun. ... We'll be right on Wall Street.'
