The kicker: Trumka sits on the jobs council.

(Politico) — One union leader on President Obama’s jobs council drew attention Tuesday by abstaining from part of the panel’s latest report, but the panel’s only other labor leader is voicing even more profound disagreement with the committee’s stance on taxes, regulation and job creation.

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka wasn’t at Tuesday’s meeting, but filed a stinging 1635-word dissent to the “Road Map to Renewal” adopted by the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. Trumka also charged that the 27-member panel Obama appointed, which is dominated by business and finance leaders, isn’t diverse enough to be making “balanced” policy proposals to the president. […]

Trumka faulted the report and the council for omitting the “informed voices of environmental, consumer, women’s, civil rights, and community organizations.” He also used the language of the “Occupy” movement to frame what he views as the council’s fundamental problem .

“Our country has become dominated by the interests of the wealthiest 1% at the expense of the remaining 99%. It turns out that a country run in the interests of the wealthiest 1% systematically underinvests in public goods; systematically silences, disempowers, and underinvests in its workers; and in the end is less competitive and creates fewer jobs than a country that focuses on the interests of the 99%.”
