Time after time were told corporations should have freedom from pesky job safety regulations, environmental protections and labor standards – giving working people the freedom to be crushed in collapsing mines, choke on filthy air and get paid too little to live on. – Richard Trumka

I say lets go back to a truer use of the word freedom.

I would add the freedom to bargain collectively. Those freedoms are under attack today. – Richard Trumka
