AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka didn't mince words during a closed-door meeting with representatives of Democratic presidential candidates ahead of Wednesday night's primary debate, warning 2020 hopefuls not to count on union votes "simply because you have a 'D' next to your name."

In March, 10 affiliated unions sent a letter on behalf of the AFL-CIO Energy Committee to Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), slamming the lawmakers' proposed Green New Deal as unrealistic and weak on details.

"We will not accept proposals that could cause immediate harm to millions of our members and their families," the letter read. "We will not stand by and allow threats to our members' jobs and their families' standard of living go unanswered."
