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

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

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.

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.

All workers want is a fair shake.
