Richard Trumka, president of the powerful AFL-CIO labor organization, has died unexpectedly, four sources confirmed to POLITICO.
Trumka, 72, had served as president of the federation, which represents more than 12.5 million workers, for more than a decade and has been a close ally of the Biden White House.
He died of what was believed to be a heart attack, a source familiar with the matter said. It was unclear when exactly it occurred, though it's believed to be either Wednesday evening or Thursday morning.
