These officers have spoken loud and clear to Metro -- they want to change the status quo. This day continues our broad initiative for the Teamsters to become the national voice for those special Americans who protect and serve us all. We are now ready, willing and able to go out and bring other units of police officers under the banner of the Teamsters. We have the knowledge, experience and determination to make sure that their dedication and their willingness to put their lives on the line every day does not go unrewarded.

The arrogance of Sikorsky has been astounding. As one of our country's major defense contractors, Sikorsky throughout this ordeal showed its disdain for workers, our elected officials and ultimately, the American taxpayers. This company is the poster child for bad behavior and corporate greed. We will continue our fight against this company and against the growing, unchecked power of all of big business in America.

We're sending a united message to Waste Management that it's time to do the right thing by the people who keep New York's neighborhoods clean and disease-free. One hundred and twenty hardworking men and women with families were forced on strike by this company's attempts to gut our pay, benefits and particularly our health care. Sanitation work is a dangerous job with a high injury rate. Yet Waste Management is drastically raising the price of our health care while cutting coverage -- at a time when they're making record profits.
