AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka gave a fiery address at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday, suggesting that Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney can’t relate to the experience of the working class.

“Remember, last week, Mitt Romney told us that he and his friends built America without any help from the rest of us,” Trumka told the crowd in Charlotte, N.C.  “Let me tell you, Mitt Romney doesn’t know a thing about hard work or responsibility. We are the ones who built America. We are the ones who build it every single day.”
