  is that, sometimes I feel like we're hungrier or we're scrappier

  in a way because we know we don't have that automatic membership

  In today's labor history on this date in 1976, 35 members of the Teamsters
• 1:04
  concerned about the infiltration of organized crime in the union and
• 1:08
  other issues met in Cleveland to form Teamsters for a Democratic Union.

  Today's labor quote is by Elizabeth Warren, who said,
• 1:18
  "Corporations are not people.
• 1:20
  People have hearts.
• 1:21
  They have kids.
• 1:22
  They get jobs.
• 1:23
  They get sick.
• 1:24
  They cry.
• 1:24
  They dance.
• 1:26
  They live, they love and they die, and that matters.
• 1:29
  That matters because we don't run this country for corporations.
• 1:34
  We run it for people."
