The president of the nation's largest labor federation called President Trumpa disappointment Tuesday and warned that workers will be looking for a new president in 2020 if Trump keeps pace with his current agenda.

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said Trump has done nothing to invest in America's infrastructure, has rejected plans to revitalize the coal community and has been too timid on trade.

'Broken promises are bad enough, but President Trump has used his office to actively hurt working people,' Trumka said.

Trumka cited the Republican tax plan, the administration's decision to delay the Obama-era overtime rule and its move to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program as policies that have hurt workers.
