On the recordJune 11, 1998
I remember when Jackie Pressler was the chairman of the Teamsters. He came before our committee and somebody brought out that he made over half a million dollars a year and was kind of needling him that it was too much money for a labor union leader to make. He looked right up at him and said, ``Well, I want you to know that almost every one of my corporate counterparts makes a lot more. And I'm worth every penny that I make for my union.''
