The president thanked General President Jim Hoffa for his leadership. And to everyone else in the room:
I want to thank all of you for keeping up the fight every day for working men and women."Too many of your brothers and sisters are looking for work," he said. "We can't settle for an economy where a few people do well, and everyone else struggles to get by."
Obama called the November election a make-or-break moment for America. He listed his accomplishments, including saving the auto industry. And he said his administration is fighting back against the war on unions. Union values are American values, and we have to reclaim them, he said.
If you stand with me, I promise I'll stand with you.
