“I cannot believe it, quite frankly, how far apart we are on so many things. How they plead poverty.

And all of us union members, leadership and staff, will be out on the picket lines tomorrow morning.” “One day longer.” “One day stronger.” “One day longer.” “One day stronger.” “The jig is up, A.M.P.T.P.

You share the wealth because you cannot exist without us.”
