The Hill
AFL-CIO chief Richard Trumka… will take to the steps of City Hall in Los Angeles for a rally against Meg Whitman, the former eBay CEO and GOP candidate for governor, and Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO. The union chief is… ramping up his rhetoric against Whitman and Fiorina as the pair climb in the polls.

Two clueless CEOs: Meg Whitman, who was too shady even for the board of Goldman Sachs; and Carly Fiorina, who laid off 30,000 Hewlett-Packard employees, shipped jobs overseas, got fired -- with a $20-plus million golden parachute -- and was labeled one of the worst CEOs of all time[.]"
