In this Sunday, June 11, 2017 photo, United Steel Workers local 1999 union president Chuck Jones, right, is hugged by Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., during his retirement party in the union hall in Indianapolis.

He said his retirement at the beginning of June was “bittersweet” after decades of declining fortunes for working people. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy)
