Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, as a proud member of the Congressional Labor Caucus, I rise today to stand in solidarity with the 150,000 members of the United Auto Workers who deserve a fair shake. Something is wrong when corporate bigwigs increase their salaries by 40 percent but autoworkers get only a 6 percent increase in the last 4 years. Something is wrong when the Big Three automakers enjoy $250 billion in profits over the last 9 years, $66 billion of that going to shareholders, while autoworkers can't even afford to buy the cars that they build. Autoworkers play a huge role in this country's transition to clean energy, and they deserve to have a fair wage along with benefits and better working conditions. I stand with the autoworkers in their fight to secure the contracts that they deserve. ____________________”
