The resignation of the AFL-CIO head from presidential advisory boards is dismissed as unrepresentative of actual union members. A disconnect is described between the "limo-driving" union leadership and the rank-and-file workers who supported Donald Trump in the 2016 election. The media's portrayal of union heads as the voice of the blue-collar worker is challenged.
