As president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, I have seen private equity firms plunder company after company, taking rich fees for themselves and cutting costs until there's nothing left to cut. Time and again I've seen their reckless behavior drive companies to declare bankruptcy.

From James P. Hoffa

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

From James P. Hoffa

This is just the beginning of a new era for America's workers.

From James P. Hoffa

Improving the outlook for U.S workers isn't about creating millions of minimum-wage jobs. It is about creating sustainable, skilled employment that allows Americans to earn a fair wage with benefits that allows them to pay for housing and food on the table and sustain a middle-class lifestyle.

From James P. Hoffa

Wage theft, worker rights and workplace discrimination should not be swept under the rug. The United States cannot have a functional economy where all the gains go to the corporate class while all the pain goes to regular workers.

From James P. Hoffa

This union has been divided in like a civil war - brother against brother - sister against sister. And I'm pulling it together. We've already seen evidence of that in New York, in Pennsylvania, in California. The first thing is we have to get on the same page. We have to be united in one cause.

From James P. Hoffa

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

From James P. Hoffa

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

From James P. Hoffa

Public sector employees are the eyes and ears on the ground for the communities they serve.

From James P. Hoffa

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.
