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

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

Corporate tax dodging impacts us across generations and over time. It is corrosive. It is unethical. It is unsustainable.

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've got to keep an eye on the battle that we face - a war on workers. And you see it everywhere. It is the Tea Party. And there's only one way to beat and win that war - the one thing about working people is, we like a good fight.

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

Congress has turned its back on America's working families. There are Teamster families in every congressional district in America, and those families vote. Those who would oppose these families have done so at their own political peril.
