For example, just two weeks ago, I was in New York for a public meeting with a number of trade unionists. Okay. And we are trying to grow the trade union movement.

And the reason why is pretty obvious because they're struggling economically. They know if you're in a union, you have better wages, better working conditions, better benefits. (22:49–22:58)
