From YouTube: Labor Day Breakfast 2023
Description
After a Labor Day breakfast held at Boston Park Plaza Hotel; members and supporters of Boston's labor unions hit the streets in solidarity and camaraderie. Mayor Wu, Governor Healey, and various union leaders offered words of encouragement and acknowledged the importance of ensuring workers are treated fairly.
A
A
A
A
Because
they
stuck
together,
they
didn't
back
down
and
showed
everyone
that
it's
better
in
a
union.
That's
why
over
a
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
sag
after
workers
and
Writer's
Guild
workers
are
currently
on
strike
supporting
each
other
through
this
struggle
inspiring
us
every
day
and
showing
us
that
it's
better
in
a
union.
That's
why
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
members
of
the
United
Auto
Workers
just
voted
to
approve
possible
strikes
at
the
big
three
auto
companies,
Ford
General,
Motors
and
stellantis-
to
remind
those
corporate
bosses
that
it's
better
in
a
union.
B
A
C
C
C
C
We've
got
undergraduate
workers
up
on
the
balcony
with
with
Tufts
University
the
resident
assistants
of
ultra
with
the
majority
of
their
members
being
people
of
color
and
working
class
families,
just
like
everybody
in
this
room
bargaining
for
their
first
contract
at
Tufts
University.
Let's
hear
for
the
RAS.
C
And
in
labor
we
know
we
cannot
do
this
work
without
our
Community
Partners
today.
Joining
us
today
is
community
Labor,
United,
New,
England
United
for
justice,
La
collaborative
Grassroots,
Brazilian,
Worker,
Center,
Ace,
clean
water
action,
and
that's
just
a
few
of
the
many
who
stand
up
for
workers,
rights
in
unions
all
day
every
day.
Let's
hear
it
for
our
Community
Partners.
C
A
All
right
last
thing,
because
this
is
important.
This
is
why
I
think
this
holiday
is
so
important.
It
invites
us
to
remember
that
strong
movements
are
made
up
of
many
communities.
Many
leaders,
many
organizations
and
many
struggles
that
join
together
into
an
Unstoppable
transformational,
Force
able
to
change
the
course
of
history,
our
movements
for
yeah
yeah.
We
are
going
to
change
the
course
of
history.
A
That's
why
our
labor
movement
is
so
important.
We
need
the
leadership
of
our
members,
the
power
of
our
workers
in
our
unions
and
the
solidarity
of
Our
Community
Partners,
to
continue
the
legacy
of
building
the
united
front.
We
need
to
confront
and
resist
and
challenge
those
who
have
always
tried
to
divide
us
so
today,
on
Labor
Day,
let's
recommit
to
our
shared
struggle.
C
Thank
you.
Everyone
we'd
like
to
invite
a
couple
of
people
up
here
that
have
been
Fearless
champions
of
the
working
movement.
They've
been
Fearless
champions
of
unions.
They
step
up
every
day
every
morning
afternoon
and
evening
to
fight
for
what
we
believe
in
they're
labor
Champions
and
they
represent
us.
Can
we
please
have
Chrissy
Lynch
secretary
treasurer
of
the
mass
AFL-CIO
in
ChatOn
green
business
agent
with
the
Boston
Building
Trades
unions
come
on
up
please
thank
you.
E
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
E
A
We
are
the
labor
movement
all
right
now.
Next
up,
oh
I'd
like
to
welcome
one
of
the
most
strategic,
fearless
and
fierce
leaders
in
the
labor
movement.
She
is
a
genuine
trade
unionist,
puts
her
Members
First
always
and
is
ready
to
take
it
to
the
streets
to
challenge
corporate
green.
In
fact,
just
over
the
last
weekend,
SEIU
32bj
took
over
the
intersection
of
state
and
Congress
in
downtown
Boston.
H
So
I'm
Roxanna
Rivera
I'm
assistant
to
the
president
of
SEIU
32.,
yes,
I'm,
excited
to
introduce
our
next
set
of
speakers
who
are
what
Labor
Day
is
all
about.
Today
we
honor
workers
their
fights
and
victories
and
progress.
This
past
year
you
will
hear
about
our
state's
home
care
workers,
our
Hospital
interns
and
residents
at
Mass,
General
Hospital,
our
University
workers,
our
state
house
workers
and
our
service
workers
at
hotels,
retail,
UPS,.
H
H
H
G
H
I
I
And
I
proudly
represent
the
men
and
women
who
proudly
serve
this
city,
this
country,
in
this
labor
movement
of
ours,
there's
no
politics
inside
of
a
burning
building.
This
is
only
the
right
thing
and
where
we
draw
our
pride
and
our
convictions
from
is
a
staple
of
this
labor
movement
and
what
we
represent,
because
no
matter
who
you
are
no
matter
where
you
are
no
matter
where
you
came
from
the
men
and
women
that
I
proudly
represent,
are
going
to
come
and
get
you
and
your
family
in
your
time
of
need,
no
matter
what.
I
Your
honor
I'm
very
glad
to
see
you
here
today
demonstrating
your
commitment
to
your
union
Workforce
in
this
labor
movement.
I
always
pay
very
close
attention
to
everything
you
say,
but
I'm
very
excited
today,
when
you
get
up
to
speak,
to
be
hanging
on
every
word,
as
you
demonstrate
your
commitment
to
union
workers
and
the
men
and
women
who
would
lay
down
their
lives
to
protect
our
city.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
J
J
Maybe
10
years
ago
we
were
designated
to
stay
at
the
hotel
for
overnights
and
I
would
leave
my
children
at
home,
my
underage
young
children,
at
home
with
my
mom
and
not
seeing
them
for
a
few
days.
That's
how
I
was
sacrificing
for
place
and
work
that
I
love,
and
it's
not
just
me
alone.
It's
all
my
co-workers
too,
but
this
year,
Hotel
Seaport
Hotel
decide
to
drop
three
quarters
of
my
co-workers,
including
myself,
down
to
part-time.
J
J
J
Respect
our
rights
to
organize
local
26.,
please
I'm,
looking
all
my
brothers
and
sisters
in
this
room
and
I'm
so
proud
of
each
and
everyone,
but
we
cannot
do
it
without
you
guys,
please
please
come
and
support
us.
We
need
support.
Thank
you
so
very
much
for
your
support.
Thank
you
for
standing
with
us.
Thank
you.
K
L
M
M
You
may
wonder
why
a
doctor
is
standing
here
in
front
of
you
when
I
started
residency
during
the
pandemic,
I
signed
a
four-year
contract
to
be
paid
15
an
hour
for
an
80
hour
work
week.
I
spent
about
two-thirds
of
my
paycheck
on
rent
and,
if
I
didn't,
have
savings
from
my
prior
job
as
a
CNA
unionized
at
the
grade,
1199.
M
I
would
have
had
to
take
out
another
loan
on
top
of
the
300K
already
over.
The
government,
organizing
through
a
union
has
made
residency
distinctly
different
in
Boston
to
two
years
ago,
at
the
Cambridge
Health
Alliance,
my
peers
and
I
successfully
bargained
for
a
free,
accessible
mental
health
care
for
all
residents.
M
We're
all
here
today,
because
we
want
our
employers
to
bargain
fairly
and
in
full
recognition
of
our
Humanity.
After
all,
the
crucial
work
of
witnessing
and
sharing
human
narratives
can
only
be
done
by
human
beings,
and
that
is
why
we
at
cir
stand
in
firm
solidarity
with
sag-aftra
today,
who
are
currently
on
strike
and
fighting
for
fair
wages.
N
I
get
to
work
on
policies
that
help
expand
the
rights
and
protections
for
the
most
vulnerable
in
our
state
and
I
with
my
colleagues
continue
to
make
sacrifices
to
serve
the
Commonwealth,
and
while
my
work
often
includes
advocating
for
the
rights
of
others,
State
House
staff
continue
to
be
barred
from
collective
bargaining
and
basic
labor
protections
with
low
pay,
limited
training,
an
nhr
that
reports
directly
to
leadership.
It's
no
wonder
that
most
of
my
colleagues
leave
within
two
years.
These
conditions
hurt
staff.
N
They
hurt
the
legislators
we
work
for,
but
most
of
all
they
hurt
you
our
constituents.
It
has
now
been
17
months.
Since
a
majority
of
Senate
staffers
signed
Union
authorization
cards,
a
majority
we
still
hold,
despite
significant
turnover
in
the
house,
where
more
than
two-thirds
of
the
way
there
and
we're
still
growing
if
we
worked
anywhere
but
the
state
house,
this
would
be
enough
to
form
a
union.
That's
why
we
are
organizing
around
two
bills:
this
fall
age,
3069
and
S
2014
an
act
relative
to
collective
bargaining
for
legislative
employees.
N
Put
it
simply.
This
bill
would
give
us
the
right
to
unionize
as
most
public
employees
enjoy,
including
the
executive
and
judicial
branch
staffers.
This
Labor
Day.
We
stand
with
all
of
you
in
solidarity
and
with
those
who
are
continuing
to
struggle
for
recognition
and
fair
contracts,
and
if
you
haven't
yet
publicly
endorse
us,
we're
incredibly
grateful
for
those
who've
already
come
out
and
support,
especially
ibw
local
22222
and
greater
Boston
labor
Council.
N
Thank
you,
but
we
need
your
help.
Call
your
legislators
this
week
ask
them
to
sign
on
to
age
3069
as
2014,
and
the
bill
will
have
a
hearing,
this
fall,
and
so
anyone
who's
interested
in
signing
up
to
testify
submitting
letters
of
support.
We
really
appreciate
it.
So
thank
you
for
all
your
support
and
have
a
great
Labor
Day.
O
P
Q
R
Many
of
our
students
work
multiple
jobs
to
pay
their
way
through
school,
and
so
we've
been
pushing
for
higher
compensation
for
the
work
that
we
do
and
after
six
months
with
the
university
refusing
to
budge
on
our
proposals,
we
authorized
a
strike
and
then,
after
sorry,
bargaining
session
in
which
they
refuse
to
make
any
response
to
our
conversation
proposals.
We
took
a
24-hour
ulp
Strike
last
Tuesday.
R
And
then,
a
few
days
later,
we
had
our
most
recent
bargaining
session
where
they
did
begin
to
move
on
some
of
our
demands.
We
still
have
a
ways
to
go,
but
we've
made
some
progress
and
I
think
that
shows
the
power
that
or
that
our
strike
have
and
that
strikes
can
have
in
general.
So
you
know
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
Greater
Boston
labor
Council.
R
When
we
were
organizing
last
year,
you
met
with
us
and
offered
us
support
when
we
were
initially
organizing
and
during
our
strike
it
was
really
instrumental
in
marshalling
a
lot
of
support
from
elected
officials
and
from
unions
in
the
area.
So
thank
you
for
all
that
you
do
and
for
all
the
support
they've
given
us
and
Happy
Labor
Day.
Thank
you.

Thank

U
U
U
Y'all
I
really
believe
that
I
believe
in
my
union,
sag,
aftra
and
I
believe
it's
a
fight
we're
going
to
win,
because
when
we
fight
yes
and
one
last
thing
before
I
go,
we
will
be
meeting
at
The
Statler
park
right
across
the
street
from
the
hotel
right
after
breakfast
for
our
Saga.
After
rally,
if
you
would
like
to
support
us,
you
are
more
than
welcome
to
come.
Thank
you.
E
We
are
sorry,
please
stand
up
and
give
a
wave
and
we
will
try
to
spot
you
from
the
crowd.
Thank
you.
I
cannot
see
you
back
there,
but
I.
Think
I,
see
Jonathan
pause,
I,
see,
Jonathan
Paz
come
see,
us
we'll
get
you
at
the
end
and
let's
give
one
other
last
big
shout
out
to
these
workers
who
come
up,
who
could
appear
and
tell
their
story.
V
W
We
are
here
to
celebrate
us.
We
made
the
decision
for
most
of
us
one
of
the
best
decisions
in
our
lives
to
be
a
part
of
the
Union
trades.
We
are
moms,
wives,
sisters,
daughters,
aunties,
friends,
black
white
asian
Latina.
We
are
straight
gay,
transgender,
non-binary
and
still
in
process
with
understanding
ourselves.
So
remember
when
you
see
the
banner
it's
not
about
the
five
of
us,
the
admins,
it's
about
the
800
plus
members
that
make
up
Boston,
Union
trade
sisters,
meeting.
X
Y
Think
events
like
this
are
so
important
one
because
it
shows
other
states
that
there
are
a
numerous
amount
of
women
that
are
able
and
willing
to
work.
Massachusetts
number
one
for
women
in
the
trays
and
I
think
it's
a
good
example
of
what
needs
to
happen.
More
often,
it
just
shows
us
that
we're
here
we're
here
to
stay
and
we're
constantly
growing.
This
is
a
place
for
us
to
feel
special
for
us
to
feel
like
wow,
like
we're
importing
we're
part
of
this
movement
that
a
lot
of
people
don't
really
know
about
that.
Z
Z
Z
I
was
all
on
board
with
this
group
showing
support
and
dedicating
my
time
to
mentoring.
Women
entrance
into
the
trades
I
would
also
like
to
shout
out
to
ncte
and
building
pathways
for
encouraging
and
showing
alignment
alliance
with
Community
women
and
minorities
getting
into
the
trades.
I
would
like
to
thank
223
for
supporting
me
throughout
the
years
and
all
the
other
trades
that
support
women
in
the
trades.

Your
background,
you
have
an
opportunity
to
get
into
the
Building
Trades.
You
have
an
opportunity
to
raise
your
family.
You
have
an
opportunity
to
get
a
good
wage.
You
have
an
opportunity
to
run
for
leadership
in
your
union.
You
have
an
opportunity
for
all
that.
Let's
not
forget
that.
Let's
take
that
out
there
and
next
conference,
let's
double
the
size
of
this
room.
Z
So
as
we
stand
together
today,
let's
remember
that
it's
better
in
a
union
because
we
stand
strong,
undivided
unwavering
and
the
strides
we
make
today
pave
the
way
for
our
future
with
the
rights
and
dignity
of
workers
are
at
Forefront.
This
video
was
a
small
piece
of
what
is
yet
to
come.
I
ask
that
you
take
out
your
calendars
and
save
the
date
for
our
next
Conference
of
women
build
Boston.
A
A
Okay,
next
up,
we
have
a
guy
that
really
doesn't
need
an
introduction.
No
one
ever
really
wants
to
speak
after
him,
including
me.
He
is
just
so
passionate
and
full
of
energy
and
enthusiasm,
and
it's
definitely
not
for
show
he's
the
real
deal.
The
real
trade
unionist
who
believes
in
the
labor
movement
with
all
his
heart
and
has
worked
his
whole
life
to
make
sure
workers
have
the
respect
and
dignity
and
wages
and
benefits.
A
We
all
deserve,
whether
as
the
local
chairman
of
the
Brotherhood
of
Railway
and
Airline
clerks
back
in
1977,
auras,
Massachusetts
state
senator
for
seven
terms,
starting
in
1999..
This
amazing
labor
Champion
has
shown
us
what
it
means
to
fight
and
what
it
means
to
win,
and
on
a
more
personal
note,
he
has
been
an
incredible
Mentor
for
me,
always
ready
with
strategic
advice
and
unwavering
support
in
his
in
for
me
and
how
helping
my
find
my
own
path
as
a
leader
in
the
labor
movement.
Please
welcome
the
president
of
the
mass
AFL-CIO
Tallman.
AH
AH
National
president
Lee
Schuler
and
general
secretary
treasurer
at
the
national
AFL-CIO
Fred
Redmond,
and
they
wanted
me
to
tell
you
it's
better
in
the
union
sisters
and
brothers,
it's
better
in
a
union
and
special
thanks
to
Darlene
for
that
great
introduction.
Darlene!
Thank
you
so
much
and
to
the
president
of
the
Greater
Boston
labor
Council
Lou
mandarini,
Brother
Lou.
Thanks
for
your
leadership.
AH
It's
a
day
for
celebration
and
a
day
for
reflection,
it's
a
day
to
be
thankful
for
all
of
the
labor
leaders
who
came
before
us
and
paved
the
way
for
so
many
of
us,
simple
things
that
we
take
for
granted,
whether
it's
child
labor
laws,
minimum
wage
to
40,
Hour,
Work,
Week,
quality
benefits
in
General,
Health,
Care,
or
a
decent
retirement
sisters
and
brothers.
Those
are
the
values
that
the
labor
movement
fights
for
day
in
and
day
out,
and
we
must
be
grateful
for
that.
AH
AH
And
yes,
we
must
use
the
lessons
from
the
past
to
help
us
win
in
the
future
sisters
and
brothers.
The
great
trade
unionists
A
Philip
Randolph,
was
a
member
of
the
Brotherhood
of
Railway
and
Airline
clerks
when
they
merged
the
Pullman
Porters,
and
he
had
a
lot
of
great
quotes,
but
he
said
it
best.
He
said
it
best
when
he
said
freedom
is
never
given.
It
is
one
nothing's
ever
given
to
the
labor
movement,
sisters
and
brothers.
It's
when
we
stand
together
and
fight
for
it.
AH
AH
We
work
safer.
In
fact,
one
study
showed
that
in
the
Building
Trades
construction
site,
a
union
construction
site
there
is
of
over
30
percent
less
in
claims
in
injury
claims,
because
we
work
safely
because
we
have
standards.
That's
a
big
issue:
30
percent,
less
injury,
sisters,
Than
Brothers.
We
have
more
job
security,
even
and
especially
in
a
difficult
economic
time.
AH
AH
AH
AH
If
you
look
at
our
history,
it's
not
surprising.
The
labor
movement
is
for
everyone
and
we
are
the
source
of
Hope
for
every
worker,
and
we
must
always
take
that
responsibility
very
serious.
That's
why
this
Labor
Day
we
are
celebrating
and
reminding
the
world
it's
better
in
a
union.
Where
are
the
State
House
employees
who
did
a
great
job?
It's
better
in
a
union
to
the
legislators,
it's
better
at
a
union.
AH
We
are
really
working
toward
one
goal,
sisters
and
brothers,
and
that
goal
is
to
save
the
middle
class,
to
build
the
middle
class
and
to
make
sure
the
middle
class
has
a
decent
retirement.
This
Labor
Day
sisters
and
brothers
I
come
to
you
with
a
cautionary
tale
of
the
future
of
work.
Everything
we
stand
for
is
under
attack.
AH
AH
AH
B
AH
AH
Sisters
and
brothers,
artificial
intelligence
must
have
standards;
most
importantly,
it
must
have
ethics.
Without
it
we
will
be
annihilated
sisters
and
brothers.
That
is
what
we
all
must
be
fighting
for.
Look
across
the
nation
watch.
The
news
follow
social
media
sisters
and
brothers.
The
future
of
work
is
under
attack
by
greedy
corporations.
AH
AH
AH
AH
We
all
know
that
we
are
strongest
when
we
are
united
and
we've
heard
it
so
many
times
here
today,
baby
when
we
fight
we
win
when
we
fight
when
we
fight-
and
we
all
know
that
we
are
strong
when
we
are
strongest.
That
is
when
we
are
successful,
so
I
say
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
to
all
of
you
out
there.
It
has
truly
been
an
honor
to
work
with
all
of
you
and
let
me
tell
you
something:
how
is
this
a
great
Labor
movement,
let's
go
out
and
make
it
better
sisters
and
brothers.
AH
AH
My
brother
John,
who
worked
so
hard
on
The
Rail
Link,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
sisters
and
brothers
and
siblings
I,
want
to
recognize
someone
who,
like
me,
has
been
in
the
labor
movement
for
a
long
time,
a
long
time
he
has
given
his
heart
and
soul
every
single
day.
As
a
leader
of
our
movement,
Lou
mandarini
served
honorably
as
the
Massachusetts
hey
attention,
please.
This
is
real
important
Lou
mandarini.
AH
Lou
mandarini
is
the
best
thing
since
sliced
bread
how's
that
he
has
given
his
heart
and
soul
to
everything
he's
done
in
our
movement.
Blue
has
served
honorably
in
the
Massachusetts
secretary
treasurer
since
2005.
12
of
those
years
beside
me,
and
he
was
my
partner
in
everything
we
did
in
decision
making
and
Leadership
has
been
a
constant
force
in
the
Building
Trades
every
role
he
could
do.
He
would
do.
He
would
always
be
standing
with
integrity.
AH
AH
Lou
has
been
a
member,
a
mentor
to
so
many
young
trade
unionists
everywhere
in
this
room.
Lou
accomplished
all
of
this
activity
on
top
of
his
day-to-day
job
as
the
business
manager,
a
Local,
22
laborers
union.
Let
me
tell
you
sisters
and
brothers,
nobody
better
nobody
more
committed
and,
like
me,
he
stepped
well.
He
stepped
down
just
a
year
ago
when
most
of
his
jobs
and
Lewis
kind
of
wrapping
it
up
so
I
say
thank
you,
Lou
for
being
my
partner
for
12
years.
AH
Thank
you
for
your
leadership,
Lou
for
your
mentorship
and,
most
importantly,
for
me,
Lou.
Thank
you
for
your
friendship,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
in
order
of
lose
dedication,
his
solidarity
and
service
everyone
in
this
room
in
the
victories
he
has
helped
went
for
workers
from
every
sector.
We
have.
We
have
a
brief
video
to
show
and
I
think
it's
ready
to
go.

Thank
you
for
everything
that
you
did
for
me
and
my
family,
this
local
and
even
outside

if

Hello,
labor
I
know
we're
engaged
in
many
fights
together
and
we're
going
to
talk
more
about
those,
but
this
is
the
moment
in
the
program
to
remember,
to
honor
and
to
celebrate
first
to
Steve.
This
is
his
last
breakfast
as
the
president
of
the
AFL
I
hope.
We'll
have
many
more
opportunities
to
celebrate
your
leadership,
but
I
want
to
say
how
grateful
I
am
for
your
partnership.
For
your
friendship,
you
mean
the
world
to
me,
and
you
mean
the
world
to
all
of
us.
One
more
round
of
applause.
D
I
know
you
hate
being
at
the
center
of
attention,
but
we're
going
to
make
you
sit
through
this
anyway,
when
I
first
ran
for
office,
I
knew
a
lot
about
law.
I
know
a
lot
about
policy.
I
knew
a
lot
about
being
a
teacher
and
I
knew
absolutely
nothing
about
being
a
politician.
I
had
many
people
to
guide
me
along
the
way,
but
Lou
you
are
one
of
my
best
teachers.
D
Lou
knows
how
to
do
everything
from
mapping
out
a
strike
strategy
to
baking
the
world's
most
wicked
apple
pie,
but
the
most
important
thing
about
Lou
is
that
he
fights
from
the
heart
we
are
here
today,
Lou
out
of
respect
for
all
you've
done
we're
here
out
of
love
for
how
much
you've
cared.
We
are
here
to
say
how
grateful
we
are
for
all
the
help
that
you
have
given
to
us
and
everyone
else
who
has
been
in
the
fight
for
working
people
across
our
Commonwealth
and
across
this
great
nation
of
ours.
AR
You
know
when
we
first
started
this
Greater
Boston
labor
Council
I
started
as
president
I
had
a
well
I
was
I,
had
a
secretary,
treasurer,
Tony
Romano
and
taught
me
a
lot,
but
then
I
had
another
partner,
Richie
Rogers
and,
as
you
saw
in
the
video
he
did
a
lot.
He
moved
this
console
and
now
we
turned
it
over
to
Darlene.
AR
AR
AR
Of
people
in
I'm
really
glad
that
we're
turning
it
over
to
a
new
group
and
we're
turning
it
over
better
than
what
we
got
got
it
and
I
know
that
they're
going
to
do
better
than
what
we
did
it's
most
important
and
that's
one
of
the
things
you
should
do
you
know
I
didn't
write
anything
but
there's
a
lot
of
people.
I
have
to
thank
this
woman
to
the
right
of
me.
AR
I
mean
you
know
you
talk
about
an
accomplish
that
this
Greater
Boston
labor
did,
which
he
didn't
tell
you
is
that
when
she
came
to
speak
the
first
time,
nobody
knew
who
Elizabeth
Warren
was
in
that
summer.
Before
and
I
can
tell
you
a
quick
story,
my
son
he'd
be
at
dinner,
which
is
dad
you
got
to
talk
to
this
woman.
You've
got
to
talk
to
this
woman.
You
know
every
day
we
grinded
it
out
and
finally
I
says:
okay,
we'll
meet,
we
met
well
I'll.
AR
AR
A
C
I
have
the
great
honor
of
introducing
our
next
speaker.
This
is
a
person
who's,
one
of
the
most
strategic
Minds
in
the
building
trade
unions
and
across
labor.
He
works
tirelessly
to
make
sure
that
every
job
in
the
construction
industry
is
a
good
union
job
and
he
works
to
make
sure
that
everyone
has
access
to
them.
You
may
hear
on
the
front
lines
of
making
sure
that
women
and
people
of
color
underrepresented
groups
in
the
trades
have
opportunities
and
have
completely
Diversified.
C
In
the
face
of
the
labor
movement
and
the
Building
Trades,
he
has
been
a
major
Force
implementing
these
policies
throughout
project
labor
agreements
and
in
collective
bargaining
agreements.
He's
someone
who
works
tirelessly
for
his
local
and
for
everybody
inside
his
local
and
Beyond,
and
on
a
personal
note,
I
can
tell
you
firsthand.
He
eats
sleeps
and
breathes
this
labor
movement.
He
is
a
champion
for
all
of
us.
Let's
have
a
big
round
of
applause
for
the
business
manager
of
IBEW,
Local,

Lou,
Anthony,.

Thank
you,
Brian!
Thank
you,

for
that
warm
introduction
and
for
all
of
you
in
the
Boston
labor
movement.
I
couldn't
be
more
proud
to
co-labor,
with
every
single
one
of
you
out
there
happy
Labor,

brothers

so
glad
to
be
here

all
of
you
this
morning.
I
can't
imagine
I,
can't
imagine
being
anywhere
else
on
Labor
Day
that
in
the
greatest
Union
City
in
this
country,
with
the
greatest
movement
in
the
labor

the
business
manager
of
ibw

and
a
shout
out
to
my
friends
and
members
that
are
here.
I
couldn't
do
anything
that
I
do
without
all
of
you,
you
guys
on
my
rock
and
my
backbone
and
without
this
team
that
we
have
in
place
there
wouldn't
be
anybody
I
love
you
it's
been
great
to
see.
So
many
workers
take
the
stage
today
and
speak
out
against
worker
Injustice.
AS
We
heard
from
workers
across
many
Industries,
whose
organizing
stories
continue
to
inspire
us
all
and
to
our
leader
and
our
great
friend,
Darlene
Lambos,
as
she
continues
doing.
The
vital
work
to
keep
our
movement
United
and
strong
Darlene
was
so
thankful
to
you
and
your
team
for
what
you're
doing
today
and
every
day
to
elevate
workers
and
to
amplify
their
voices.
Thank
you.
We
love
you.
AS
Of
course,
I
have

to
all
of
us.
So
thank
you
very
much.
AS
The
Young
Folks
are
going
to
carry
us
forward
and
I
couldn't
be
more
appreciative,
and
for
the
first
time
in
decades
it
seems
that
Labor's
political
stars
have
finally
aligned
from
the
White
House
to
the
state
house
to
Boston
City
Hall,
our
elected

are
leveling
the
playing
field

ensure
that
workers
have
a
real
shot
at
the
true
American
Dream,
fairness,
fairness
and
respect.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Fairness
and
respect
for
working
people
is
back
at
all

it's
stronger

I've
had
a
distinct
pleasure
to
work
very
closely

a
vision
where
work
of

is
championed

supported
by
all

hope
to
organize

represent
workers.
Here

awe
and
gratitude

who's
enjoying
a
well-earned
retirement
after
more
than
50
years
with
Laborers
Local
22..
AT
Since
before
I
started,
my
political
career
you've
been
a
mentor
and
a
guide
and
a
trusted
advisor
and
someone
who
I
could
call
when
I
could
call
no
one
else
and
I
will
never
forget
that
Lou
we
won't
let
you
off
the
hook,
even
though
we'll
miss
you
in
this
current
role,
I
know
you're
going
to
be
right
on
speed,
dial
still
on
vocational
education,
Madison,
Park
and
so
many
other
issues.
So
thank
you
for
everything.
AT
As
you've
heard
and
seen,
this
has
been
an
eventful
year
in
the
labor
movement
nationally
and
locally
The
Writer's,
Guild
and
sag-aftra
launched
major
strikes
in
California
and
Beyond
kicking
off
Labor's
long
hot
summer,
fulfilling
his
promise
as
president
of
the
teamsters
Boston's
own
Sean
O'brien
led
a
generational,
organizing
effort
inside
the
union.
Chris
costs
a
country
and
delivered
the
best
contract
that
that
Union
has
seen
in
decades.
AT
AT
AT
And
we're
committed
to
leaving
nothing
on
the
table
when
it
comes
to
supporting
our
workers
across
sectors,
trades,
neighborhoods
and
industries.
That
means
applying
the
power
and
scope
of
City
purchasing
and
Contracting
to
drive
fair
and
Equitable
labor
standards
all
across
Boston.
It
means
ending
exploitation
where
it's
happening
and
stopping
it
everywhere
else
before
it
starts
and,
above
all,
it
means
keeping
our
workers
safe.
AT
We're
doing
everything
in
our
power
to
ensure
that
every
worker
in
Boston
can
go
to
work,
confident
that
they'll
clock
out
at
the
end
of
the
day
and
head
home
to
their
families
healthy
and
well,
to
make
all
these
things.
True.
Last
year
we
created
the
city
of
Boston's,
first
ever
cabinet
of
worker
empowerment,.
AT
AT
It
was
about
doing
something
the
city
had
never
done
before,
putting
the
full
energy
and
attention
of
Boston's
Labor
Department,
behind
protecting
and
advancing
the
rights
of
workers
Citywide.
Over
this
last
year,
we've
been
executing
on
all
those
fronts
to
ensure
labor
standards
that
are
fair
and
dignified.
We
brought
in
coverage
of
the
city's
jobs
living
wage
and
prevailing
wage
ordinance
that
sets
the
wage
for
city
of
Boston
contract
workers.
AT
AT
AT
Most
importantly,
to
protect
the
lives
of
our
workers,
the
cabinet
led
the
creation
of
a
construction
safety
ordinance
that
will
take
effect
later
this
year.
Thank
you
to
the
members
of
the
Boston
city
council
for
passing
this
ordinance
in
direct
response
to
a
series
of
accidents
that
occurred
in
2022.
This
ordinance
will
require
contractors
and
Builders
to
submit
safety
plans
as
part
of
the
permit
application
for
any
building
over
50
000
square
feet
and
for
demolition
projects
and
buildings
with
four
or
more
stories.
AT
That
means
for
the
roughly
45
000
projects
that
the
city
of
Boston's
inspectional,
Services
Department
permits.
Each
year,
every
single
one
will
have
to
have
a
Project
Specific
site
safety
plan
detailing
the
training
and
place
to
protect
workers
and
including
all
potential
on-site
hazards
and
safety
procedures
updated
annually
or,
if
conditions
on
the
site
change.
AT
But
we
know
that
workers,
that's
right.
It's
true,
clapping,
yes,
but
we
know
that
worker
safety
isn't
solved
by
creating
more
paperwork.
That's
why
the
ordinance
also
requires
that
all
permit
holders
train
every
worker
on
the
site
safety
plan
in
the
language
that
they
speak
with
an
overview
of
the
hazards.
They
might
encounter
and
on
the
procedures
and
equipment
necessary
to
stay
safe
for
bigger
projects.
AT
A
site
safety
coordinator
with
30
hours
of
OSHA
training
is
required
to
be
on
site
at
all
times
too
often,
in
situations
like
these,
the
city
comes
up
with
a
bunch
of
new
requirements,
asks
employers
to
figure
it
out
and
then
shows
up
to
enforce
after
things
were
supposed
to
happen,
but
then
didn't
we're
not
interested
in
that
either,
because
our
priority
isn't
being
able
to
point
to
something
to
say
we
did
it.
It's
actually
keeping
our
workers
safe.
AT
So
we're
partnering
we're
partnering
with
contractors,
especially
small
and
medium-sized
contractors,
to
ensure
they
have
the
tools
and
resources
to
develop
smart
plans
for
safety,
but
also
to
follow
through
and
execute
on
them.
We're
providing
OSHA
30
trainings
for
free
in
multiple
languages,
to
ensure
there's
no
barriers
to
compliance
and
we're
proud
to
report
that
already
more
than
40
city
of
Boston
staff
have
already
received
this
OSHA
30
training
ahead
of
the
ordinance
taking
effect
and
we're
ready
to
do
more.
AT
AT
AT
We
created
a
dedicated
people
operations
cabinet
to
give
our
Workforce
the
attention
it
deserves,
revise
our
parental
leave
policy
to
cover
more
family
types
and
include
leave
for
pregnancy
loss,
we're
piloting
the
city's
first
ever
Visa
sponsorship
program
to
support
and
retain
workers
who
are
seeking
continued
work,
authorization
and
we're
making
commuting
easier
for
our
staff,
offering
65
subsidy
on
public
transit
passes
and
free
blue
bike.
Memberships-
we're
proud
of
all
this,
but
we
know
it
doesn't
mean
much
if
our
workers
don't
get
paid
when
they're
supposed
to
get
paid
and
don't
get
raises.
AT
AT
Pending
ratification,
this
tentative
agreement
is
a
result
of
months
of
staying
at
the
table.
Together,
bargaining
focused
on
what
our
city
needs,
what
our
communities
need
and
what
the
brave
individuals
who
keep
them
safe
need
every
day.
This
is
also
a
testament
to
our
administration's
on
flagging
focus
on
settling
all
of
our
contracts.
Thank
you
to
all
of
our
firefighters
for
what
you
do
every
day.
Thank
you
to
our
entire
city,
Workforce.
AT
AT
AT
We're
making
Boston
a
city
for
everyone,
and
that
means
being
the
greatest
City
for
labor,
leaving
behind
the
practice
of
reacting
to
labor
issues
only
when
they
arise
and
instead
proactively
seeking
ways
to
protect
workers,
rights
and
improve
workers
lives
in
Partnerships
with
all
of
our
unions.
It
means
leading
by
example,
and
taking
care
of
our
own,
and
it
means
recognizing
that
our
own
encompasses
all
workers
in
our
city
workers,
without
whom
this
city
simply
could
not
function.
AT
C
C
I
have
the
great
honor
of
introducing
our
next
speaker,
someone
who
has
worked
for
the
Massachusetts
AFL-CIO,
almost
her
entire
career,
except
for
when
she
came
over
to
help
us
at
the
Boston
building
trade
unions.
We
saw
firsthand
the
commitment,
the
dedication,
the
Devotion
to
everything
that
the
labor
movement
stands
for.
She
is
a
champion
for
workers,
rights,
she's,
a
champion
for
unions,
let's
hear
from
Massachusetts
AFL-CIO
secretary
treasurer,
Chrissy,
Lynch,
okay,.
E
E
E
We
finally
have
someone
back
in
the
corner
office
who
understands
how
crucial
equity
in
centering
the
voices
of
working
people
in
all
public
policy
decisions.
Are
we
finally
have
someone
back
in
the
corner
office
who
shares
the
labor
movement's
values?
Someone
who
knows
that
the
best
way
to
grow
the
middle
class
is
to
organize
more
people
into
unions
and
to
protect
and
strengthen
the
laws
that
improve
the
lives
of
working
people.
E
We
finally
have
somebody
in
the
corner
office
who
understands
that
our
democracy
is
better
in
a
union.
She
understands
that
unions
represent
the
best
united
front.
We
have
to
protect
and
strengthen
the
progress
we've
made,
not
just
on
workers
rights,
but
on
civil
rights,
on
voting
rights
and
on
racial
Justice.
E
That's
why
we
worked
so
hard
last
year
to
talk
to
tens
of
thousands
of
union
members
about
why
Mar
Healey
was
the
best
choice
for
working
people
for
governor.
We
talked
to
members
on
the
doors
on
the
phones
at
the
job
sites.
We
now
have
Mara
as
our
governor
she's.
Also
the
first
woman
ever
elected
governor
of
Massachusetts.
E
E
AD
AD
I
am
well
good
morning
and
happy
Labor
Day
to
everyone
Chrissy.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
for
your
partnership
for
your
leadership.
It's
been
awesome,
working
with
you
for
so
many
years.
It's
going
to
continue
to
be
awesome,
working
with
you
and
the
team
and
I.
Thank
you
for
everything
that
you
do
and
in
particular
you
know
all
the
help
you've
provided
to
our
Administration
here
in
the
first
half
really
appreciate
it.
AD
AD
Steve,
you
have
been
the
the
fiercest
Advocate
I
know
when
it
comes
to
the
needs
of
Working
Families,
all
across
this
country.
You
bleed
that
you
wear
it
on
your
sleeve,
you
bring
it
every
single
day
and
I
just
want
to
say.
Thank
you
for
that,
and
also
thank
you
for
the
incredible
friendship
that
you
have
given
to
me
over
the
years.
AD
AD
Yeah
and
to
our
friend
Lou
mandarini,
Lou
I
want
to
get
more
information
on
the
apple
pie.
I
could
use
some
help
there
in
that
department,
but
in
all
seriousness
you
have
been.
You
know
right
there
at
the
table
when
all
decisions,
important
political
decisions,
were
made
getting
behind
people
getting
them
over
the
finish
line
and
elected,
and
you
know
your
record
speaks
for
itself,
so
we
wish
you
all
the
best.
AD
We
also
know
you
are
not
going
far
and
I
know
personally
I'll
be
able
to
pick
up
the
phone
and
and
call
you
frequently
for
advice
and
Counsel
on
on
so
many
fronts
as
we
confront
challenging
times,
but
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
Lou
and
you
deserve.
You
deserve
all
the
best
and
I
also
thought
it
was
special
to
hear
both
Steve
and
Lou
talk
about
succession
and
Legacy.
What
they've
built?
AD
What
they've
built
on
and
I
think
that's
something
that
all
of
us,
no
matter
what
capacity
we're
in
are
looking
to
do
looking
to
leave
things
a
little
bit
better
than
when
we
got
here
and
both
of
you,
gentlemen,
have
done
just
that
and
so
much
more
it's
why
it's
great
to
be
here
today
we
celebrate
with
Chrissy
celebrate
with
Darlene
Lambos.
You
know
so
many
people,
so
many
leaders
that
you've
helped
nurture
and
bring
along.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that.
AD
AD
Sorry
for
the
you
could
see,
we
were
actually
trying
to
get
some
business
done
over
there
in
the
corner,
no
disrespect
intended,
but
it
was
all
in
furtherance
of
Working
Families
here
and
across
this
country,
a
big
shout
out
to
our
Senators
Elizabeth,
Warren
and
Ed
Markey
and,
of
course,
the
indomitable
into
photographable
Catherine
Clark,
who
was
just
we're
so
proud
of
Catherine
and
everything.
She
is
doing.
AD
It's
a
privilege
to
work
alongside
her
and
our
federal
delegation,
including
including,
of
course,
our
fabulous
congresswoman,
Ayanna
Presley,
all
of
them
taking
the
fight
every
day
on
behalf
of
working
people
to
Washington.
So
many
state
legislators
are
here,
City
councilors,
so
many
people
in
elected
office
from
across
this
area,
and
that's
just
such
a
credit
to
this
movement,
what
you
represent
and
who
you
are
fabulous
words
from
our
mayor,
Michelle
Wu.
AD
It's
been
great
to
work
in
partnership
with
our
fabulous
mayor
and
it
will
continue
to
be
as
we
move
forward
and
we
thank
her
for
her
leadership.
I
also
want
to
thank
and
just
acknowledge
a
special
table.
That's
not
too
far
in
front
of
me,
and
that
is
the
members
of
the
Attorney
General's
office.
I
love
the
Attorney
General's
office
report.
AD
To
all
the
folks
in
the
Fair
Labor
division,
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you
do,
that
you
continue
to.
Do
you
make
us
all
so
so
proud
and
to
members
of
our
current
team
in
the
administration,
Kim,
Driscoll
and
I
have
the
pleasure
of
working
with
so
many
people
committed
to
workers
rights
committed
to
supporting
unions.
That
includes
folks
who
are
here
today
are
Secretary
of
Labor
and
Workforce
Development
Lauren
Jones.
AD
AD
And
I
have
to
say
a
very
special
Happy
Labor
Day
to
more
than
44
000
state
employees,
who
are
the
ones
that
make
us
go
I'm,
not
confused
by
that
this
Commonwealth
runs
not
on
Duncan's.
It
runs
on
the
hard
work
of
the
men
and
women,
many
of
whom
I
have
the
privilege
of
serving
with
in
state
government
44
000
state
employees
who
make
possible
everything
that
we
do
in
government
and
I
just
want
to
thank
them.
AD
A
year
ago,
I
stood
here
as
a
candidate,
and
you
all
stood
with
me
and
with
your
support
we
made
history.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
proving
that
worker
power
moves
us
forward
in
every
way.
That's
why,
in
Massachusetts,
every
day
is
Labor,
Day
and
I
want
you
to
know
we're
in
that
sees
that
believe
that
supports
that,
because
we
believe
in
a
simple
truth,
a
strong
Massachusetts
which
I
am
so
invested
in
making
and
creating
and
furthering
as
your
Governor.
A
strong
Massachusetts
depends
on
strong
workers
period
workers.
AD
AD
Now,
as
Governor
with
lieutenant
governor
Kim
jisco
was
secretary,
Lauren,
Jones
and
I
want
you
to
know
across
our
entire
Administration.
We
are
putting
workers
and
their
families
first
in
everything
that
we
do.
In
our
first
state
budget,
we
paid
off
student
loans
for
thousands
of
behavioral
health
workers.
AD
We
made
we
made
Community
College
free
for
all
students,
age,
25
and
older.
Through
our
new
Mass
reconnect
program,
we
made
school
lunches
permanently
free
for
all
public
school
students,
we're
investing
nearly
4
million
to
support
a
thousand
new
diverse
new
placements
in
registered
apprenticeship
and
pre-apprenticeship
programs.
Many
in
partnership
with
unions
represented
here
today
at
the
same
time
we're
investing
in
workers
who
make
our
government
run.
AD
AD
We're
prioritizing
our
Partnerships
with
labor,
because
labor
is
essential
to
meeting
every
critical
goal
that
we
share,
for
example,
working
with
an
age
to
team
up
to
make
sure
we
had
the
staff
at
the
RMV
to
meet
the
demand
of
the
work
and
family
Mobility
act.
I
can
tell
you
that,
because
of
that
partnership,
and
because
of
the
work
and
age
and
others,
we
have
thousands
of
hard-working
immigrants
getting
driver's
licenses
today.
Thousands
moving
our
economy
forward.
AD
AD
AD
Ways
to
attract
and
retain
a
Workforce
and
I
want
to
thank
Jimmy
Evers
as
well
as
GM
philang
for
their
collaboration
in
this
deal.
I
got
to
tell
you:
why
does
it
matter?
Because
the
results
we've
had
a
more
than
350
percent
increase
in
bus
driver
applications
and
nearly
a
200
percent
increase
in
Trolley
driver
applications,
since
we
did
that
deal
it
matters,
and
since
last
July
the
t's
hired
more
than
120
new
workers
into
good
union
jobs.
AD
AD
We
need
to
lean
into
these
Partnerships
now
more
than
ever,
for
the
well-being
of
our
residence
and
the
well-being
of
our
state,
which
I
believe
so
deeply
in
it's
a
critical
time
in
our
country's
history,
a
moment
of
profound
challenges
and
those
of
us
who
can
work
together
and
lead
us
forward
we're
going
to
be
the
winners
and
I
know.
If
you
hang
with
me,
we
work
together.
We
can
do
so
much
from
climate
change
and
the
clean
energy
transition
to
affordable
housing
and
the
cost
of
living
to
racial
equity
and
economic
Justice.
AD
Nothing
is
more
important
to
our
success
than
the
strength
of
our
Workforce.
Now
the
federal
government,
thanks
to
the
Biden
Harris
Administration
and
the
leadership
of
our
Congressional
Delegation,
is
making
has
made
historic
investments
in
infrastructure,
clean
energy
and
resilience,
Advanced,
manufacturing
and
medical
innovation.
AD
These
are
opportunities
to
grow
our
economy,
to
protect
and
connect
our
communities
and
Advance
environmental
justice
they're
also,
they
are
also
opportunities
to
create
so
many
more
great
pain
union
jobs
and
that's
why
I
want
to
make
the
most
of
this,
because
everyone
will
benefit.
Everyone
will
be
lifted
up
our
families,
our
economy,
Massachusetts
will
be
so
much
stronger
and
whatever
state,
whatever
state
gets
it
together
and
partners.
The
best
is
going
to
win
and
I
don't
intend
to
lose
working
with
all
of
you.
AD
We're
aligned
right
now
we're
aligned
with
the
Biden
Harris
Administration.
We
need
to
make
every
bit
the
most
of
all
of
that
we're
leading
to
in
our
recognition
of
plas.
We've
talked
a
lot
about
this
before
plas,
protect
the
taxpayers
investment
and
ensure
high
quality
results.
They
allow
us
to
build
diverse
apprenticeship
pipelines
right
into
a
project,
and
so
much
more
so
I
want
to
recognize
the
building
Pathways
program.
AD
AD
Let's
be
creating
opportunities
that
lift
families
into
the
middle
class
and
make
us
a
more
Equitable,
affordable
and
competitive
state
I
know
the
grit
the
resilience,
the
dedication,
the
hard
work
of
the
men
and
women
in
this
room,
I've
seen
it
day
after
day
and
I
know
that
it's
the
same
grit
and
also
compassion
that
is
motivating
working
people
across
this
state.
That's
why
I
know
we
can
do
this.
We
can
bring
opportunity
to
every
Community.
We
can
lead
this
country
forward.
AD
AD
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
work
and
I
want
to
thank
you
in
advance
for
the
Kick-Ass
things
that
we're
going
to
do
in
this
state
they're
going
to
move
an
economy
forward
that
are
going
to
move
families
forward
that
are
going
to
lift
people
up
in
ways
we
never
have
seen
or
imagined
before
my
money
is
on
Massachusetts
I
am
always
with
unions
in
the
labor
movement.
Thank
you
all
and
Happy
Happy
Labor
Day.

Hey
the
second
thing,
I
want
to
say
that
there's
no
accident
is
the
fact
that
we
are
a
Union
City
and
the
fact
that's,
because
we
have
fighters
in
this
room
and
Fighters
across
the
city
they're
going
to
keep
Boston
in
Uniontown
and
when
I
have
the
great
honor
of
this
personal
privilege,
of
thanking
our
Union
sister
and
our
great
union
labor
leader
and
Darlene
Lambos,
for
putting
on
this
whole
project.
This
morning.
Let's
hear
it
for
Darlene.
L
A
Thank
you
so
much.
We
actually
have
one
more
speaker.
Don't
worry
it's
going
to
be
a
call
to
action,
because
we're
not
done
after
this
breakfast
we're
gonna
go
hit
the
streets.
So
to
do
that,
we
want
to
invite
a
proud
unionist
local
actor.
Michelle
proud,
oh
Michelle
is
the
national
vice
president
of
midsize
locals
for
sag.
After
him
she
has
been
local
president
and
New
England
board,
member
and
sag
after
member
for
nearly
two
decades.
Please
welcome
Michelle,
proud.
AU
AU
AU
I'm
gonna
just
take
one
quick
minute
here
to
go
through.
Why?
Why
are
we
on
strike?
I
mean
it
might
not
be
a
relatable
concept.
Actors
on
strike
so
I
want
to
briefly
break
it
down
to
our
issues.
Number
one
in
our
world
we're
all
we're
not
only
the
labor
we're
actually
the
product,
so
it's
our
likeness
and
craft
that
they
are
selling
our
contracts,
protect.
How
and
when
they
can
use
our
likeness
and
with
artificial
intelligence.
On
The
Rise
AI
computers
are
being
trained
to
replicate
human
behavior
by
inputting
samples
of
existing
digital
copies.
AU
We
already
have
actors
who
are
being
scanned
on
sets
and
they
have
no
clear
understanding
of
how
or
where
their
image
is
going
to
be
used.
We
can't
stop
the
wheels
of
progress,
we're
not
asking
to.
We
said
to
the
studios
and
streamers.
We
just
want
some
rules
around
this
and
we
want
our
members
to
have
consent
before
this
happens
and
the
studios
and
streamers
said
no.
AU
AU
All
of
that
time,
you're
thinking
wow
at
least
the
actors
are
making
some
money
here
right
because
we're
binging
all
this
stuff
we're
paying
for
more
streaming
services.
Well,
no,
actually,
the
way
it
works
in
streaming,
which
is
an
made
for
streaming
content
made
for
streaming.
Content,
is
something
that
only
is
part
of
our
contract
for
the
last
six
years,
and
so
we
don't
get
more
residuals
based
on
how
many
people
are
watching
the
content.
In
fact,
the
studios
and
streamers
want
us
to
believe
they
don't
know
how
many
people
are
watching
the
content.
AU
And
finally,
just
like
everybody
else,
we
are
painfully
aware
of
this.
The
Steep
inflation
that's
occurred
in
the
past
few
years,
so
our
ask
for
an
increase
in
base.
Pay
is
reflective
of
that
and
they
said
no
so
rules
about
how
our
work
can
be
used.
Fair
compensation
for
the
use
of
our
image
increase
in
Pay
reflective
inflation.
This
isn't
an
us
issue.
This
is
an
us
issue.
AU
AU
A
A
Okay,
they're
gonna
March
over
they're,
gonna,
March
us
and
lead
us
to
the
rally.
That's
waiting
a
March
to
the
rally.
So
we
need
this
middle
line
to
just
scoot
your
chairs.
In
because
they're
gonna
walk
down
the
middle
okay,
they're
gonna
March
but
hold
on
we're
gonna
lead
one
more
champ
before
we
go
and
I'm
gonna
bring
up
desalya
to
bring
out
to
say
it
one
more
chant
and
then
we'll
start
the
marching
band.
And
then
everybody
go
to
the
rally.
Okay,
ready.
