I will never apologize for standing up for my fellow Teamsters and all American workers.

We must have more union members in this country to fight the political and business forces that are undermining workers in this country. The AFL-CIO has chosen the opposite approach by planning to throw even more money at politicians.

Labor Day is seen as a day of rest for many hardworking Americans.

The mob's not coming back in the Teamsters Union. We've gotten rid of them, and we're free to be free of government supervision.

Today we are united, strong and on the move. Today we have a strong strike fund. Today we have the resources to run large-scale organizing campaigns against global employers. Today we have $100 million in the bank.

We vote - if the public votes 50 percent, we vote 70 percent. So we have a bigger impact with our numbers, and the organization and the manpower we can bring to a race.

All workers want is a fair shake.
