00:00I don't know how the hell these unions aren't endorsing Trump instead of the standard Democrat.
00:05A Democrat that doesn't even know where he is.
00:08If I have the honor of becoming your president,
00:10I'm going to be the strongest labor president you have ever had.
00:30I
00:58will fight for workers and union pay. Everyone should be entitled to sick leave
01:04and a minimum wage of 15 bucks an hour, not as a ceiling, but as a floor.
01:12So
01:23we will enact fair trade deals that create American jobs and grow American wages.
01:41You know, all the union heads are against me, but all the workers are for me. So something's right.
01:51The workers are for me. Usually the union heads,
01:54they're wined and dined in Washington pretty good by the Democrat.
02:11I'm going to hold company executives personally liable for interfering with workers who are
02:16attempting to unionize. It's not enough just to have their corporations pay a fine.
02:22If they're part of the problem, they are going to pay a personal price.
02:32To launch our national rebuilding, I will be asking Congress to approve legislation
02:37that produces a $1 trillion investment in infrastructure of the United States,
02:43financed through both public and private capital, creating millions of new jobs.
03:08So
03:25we're going to build on all the new infrastructure we're going to build in highways. We're going to
03:29build a network of 500,000 charging stations across America, providing prevailing wage jobs
03:36for the IABW and other craftsmen all across the country.
04:06We have VA accountability. It sounds easy. But when you have civil service and you have unions
04:24and you have all of this, for 40, 50 years, they've been trying to get rid of it.
04:28That's they don't take care of our vets. We fire them. Before you couldn't.
04:52Unions are why so many today have health insurance and sick leave,
04:56why so many have a voice in the workplace and in our democracy.
05:00Unions are why the CARES Act included worker protection and why the HEROES Act,
05:06which the Senate hadn't acted on yet, would require OSHA to boost safety standards.
