In the past we couldn't talk to non-union workers. Now we can at least talk to non-union workers so we'll be mobilizing them and educating them not for just six or eight months before an election, but we'll be doing it year-round.

It's not well-drafted. It's an agreement, an investment agreement that will benefit Wall Street a lot, but not working people.
