Thank you President Sweeney, for calling out the corporate greed  that has nearly destroyed our country,our mortgage markets, and nearly our economy -  for calling out the enrons and the exxons that have exported our jobs- for fighting with us to increase the minimum wage and much more. It is because of your leadership and  commitment to the working women and men of our country that the we are on the path to a newly re-energized, recommitted labor movement.
