“In the past we couldn't talk to non-union workers. Now we can at least...” — Richard Trumka Quote

“You see, without hard work and responsibility, there is no American Dream. Hard work lays the foundation. Our solidarity makes work pay - for all of us. For the greater good. That's what our vision of shared prosperity is all about.”

“Friends, I'm angry about what's happening in politics today! Why is it wrong to ask the wealthiest people and most profitable corporations to pay their fair share?”

“I like to think my work is furthering black culture by educating and empowering black people.”

“There is nothing unhealthy about educating youngsters about nutrition.”

“The fact that I get to give a platform and a voice to someone who may not have that - or educating people on a really important topic - there's nothing else like it.”
