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.

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.

If we're all together, we have money, and we start to organize, you're going to see the Teamsters Union start to bloom.

That's what unions do. They can get money, they can get support, they can get manpower.

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.

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

It's a success story here in Michigan. We have hiring going on. We have new industries going on.
