The 2009 election for the leadership of the AFL-CIO occurred following the announcement of incumbent president John Sweeney's retirement. The election took place during the 26th AFL-CIO National Convention in Pittsburgh. The event was preceded by a 2008 speech at which then-Secretary-Treasurer Richard Trumka had blasted the perceived racism being directed against 2008 Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama,〔(Greenhouse, Steven.

July 2, 2009.〕〔(John Nichols, "AFL's Trumka: Labor Must Battle Racism to Elect Obama," ''Capital Times,'' July 3, 2008. )〕 increasing his profile both inside and outside the labor movement. Trumka, who had served as Secretary-Treasurer since first being elected in 1995, received no contest for the position of president. ==Candidates== :Note: Winning candidates are in bold. ; President * Richard Trumka ; Secretary-Treasurer * Liz Shuler * Gregory Junemann ; Executive Vice-President * Arlene Holt Baker 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「AFL–CIO election, 2009」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
