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

“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.”

“And some of those people that voted Republican are now going to say, what a mistake I made because I didn't know they were going to take my job away. I didn't know they were going to take collective bargaining away.”

“We didn't start this war - the right wing did. We're tired of seeing good-paying jobs shipped overseas. This fight is about the economy, it's about jobs and it's about rebuilding America.”

“Workers want to be paid an honest, fair wage for the work they do. They want to be able to provide for their families by being justly compensated for their part in helping grow the U.S. economy. They deserve to be able to put food on the table and receive health care and other benefits.”

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

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