Steve captured the spirit and the will essential to the fight for justice, and did so with generosity, grace and a warm smile for those he worked with. I am deeply saddened by his passing, but grateful for his friendship and the example that he set for those that follow.

The labor movement, the AFL-CIO and the nation lost a legend today - and I lost a dear friend. Rich Trumka devoted his life to working people, from his early days as president of the UMWA to his unparalleled leadership as the voice of America’s labor movement.
Rich was a relentless champion of workers’ rights, and even as we mourn his passing today, we will stand on his shoulders to continue the fight for workers, and for the fair and just society he believed in so passionately. We will honor his legacy with action.
