This was a really great speech by Richard Truka. It's online finally.
Here's the transcript of the speech:

We as a nation must be true to our better selves—employers must not make a buck on the backs of workers who live in fear of deportation, and workers must stand together in the workplace for good jobs, safe jobs, health care for all, and retirement security we can count on. And so when we talk about making the American Dream real, the labor movement stands for making it real for all of us who do the work of our country. All of us—no matter what we look like, who we choose to love, or where we come from. Surely there we can find common ground.
It really is another amazing speech by this man! I highly recommend it. So does Digby at Hullabaloo!
