(Downtown has) a very good concentration of similar kinds of workplaces and ones that are generally ignored by other unions because of the small size and the transient nature of the workers.

This is a really exciting campaign for us, it is the largest of its kind in the country and it's a great opportunity right now, especially in light of the organizing going on in the Latino community that makes up a significant portion of the workers behind the scenes downtown. We are really happy to have the chance to open the campaign with a couple of internationally known musicians. Alistair and David both have a fabulous way of carrying the stories of the working class to the world in their music.

There's only two kinds of actors - good ones and bad ones... and lucky ones and unlucky ones.

There are two kinds of writers; the great ones who can give you truths, and the lessor ones, who can only give you themselves.
