The mob's not coming back in the Teamsters Union. We've gotten rid of them, and we're free to be free of government supervision.
From James P. Hoffa
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.
Today we are united, strong and on the move. Today we have a strong strike fund. Today we have the resources to run large-scale organizing campaigns against global employers. Today we have $100 million in the bank.
If we're all together, we have money, and we start to organize, you're going to see the Teamsters Union start to bloom.
Corporate tax dodging impacts us across generations and over time. It is corrosive. It is unethical. It is unsustainable.
Anyone who has followed the U.S. economy in recent years can tell you while corporate America and their wealthy executives have recovered from the last recession, middle-class families have not. About 95 percent of income gains between 2009 and 2012 went to the top one percent.
