Re: Draft outline for AFL-CIO speech
Here is an extended, draft outline for the AFL-CIO speech. I
am continuing to work on this and will have a draft tomorrow. But
I would appreciate your comments, suggestions, additional

Thank you.

Draft Outline for AFL-CIO Speech
Introduction
O Acknowledgments; thank them for their support in the campaign
and for their support in passing the economic plan.
o Proud to be here with the representatives of a movement that
has changed America and changed the world.
o A week ago, when I addressed the United Nations General
Assembly, I said, "It is a moment of miracles." Mandela/de Klerk;
Yeltsin; Rabin/Arafat.
O American labor helped it happen. From the struggle against
communism in Eastern Europe, to the struggle against apartheid in
South Africa, you have proven that a free society needs a strong
and vibrant labor movement.
O As President Kennedy said: "I would hope that every American,
no matter whether he [or she] is on one side of the bargaining
table or the other, whether he [or she] is in a wholly different
sphere of life, would recognize that the strength of the American
labor movement is vital to the maintenance of freedom in this
country and all around the world."
Change/Security
O Today, I want to talk to you about how you and I and all
Americans can answer the challenges of a world transformed by
trade and technology.
o For more than a century, the American labor movement has fought
for the American Dream: that, if you work hard and play by the
rules, you'll be rewarded with a good life for yourself and a
better life for your children.
0 The greatness and the glory of this country is that, for most
of the past half-century, for most of our working people, we have
kept faith with the people who keep faith with America. The
steelworker and the stenographer, the teacher and the teamster
have enjoyed opportunity, security, and a middle class standard
of living.
o Now, we are in a time of change as wrenching as the dawning of
the industrial age in which the labor movement was founded. We
earn our livings in peaceful competition with every people on the
face of this earth. We do our jobs working with technologies
beyond the wildest dreams of our parents and grandparents. No
longer can your sons and daughters realistically expect that they
1
will hire in on a job at the age of 18 or 21, enjoy secure
paychecks and health benefits, and retire from the same job with
a secure pension at the age of 65.
O For the past twelve years, the middle class has been losing its
sense of security; working harder for lower wages; social fabric
coming apart.
O We can do better - and we must. For America to compete and win,
our people must have the confidence and the courage to learn new
skills, to cooperate in the workplace, so that, instead of
working harder for less, we work smarter for more.
o For me, for you, and for every working man and woman in this
country, the challenge is: in a world where change is the only
certainty -- how do we make the most of our opportunities; how do
we find some measure of security; how do we build a new sense of
solidarity and community?
O Nobody understands this better than the American labor
movement. You know that sometimes the best way to preserve
everything you have worked for is to have the courage to change.
The historic role of the American labor movement has been, not to
preserve old ways, but to embrace change and empower workers,
with higher incomes, better skills, health security, and the
dignity that comes from a stronger voice in improving your
products and services.
What We Are Doing/Security
o With your help, everything that we have done -- and everything
that we are trying to do -- will restore our people's sense of
security in changing times:
o Family and Medical Leave Act: secure that you can take time to
be with a newborn baby or an ailing parent -- and keep your job.
o Deficit reduction: our country, our companies, and our families
can invest in the future.
o Reform student loans, national service: the security that
merit, not money, will get you into college.
o Earned income tax credit, so that poor people can have the
confidence that work will be rewarded over welfare.
O Anticrime bill: security in your homes, on our streets, on your
way to and from work, your children in their schools. [Anecdote
about hotel worker in New York City].
O Job training and retraining: secure that, if you lose your job,
you can find a new job; secure that, if you can't move up on your
2
job, you can get a better job; secure that, in a time of fading
job security, you will have economic security.
Investments in new technologies and new jobs
-- Defense conversion
-- clean car
Expanded trade: contributes to job security.
-- Tokyo
-- recent export initiatives
-- Mention expanded trade in this hemisphere, strengthening
agreements for North American Free Trade Agreement (?)
Most Important Element of Security: Health Security
o Need for health care reform:
-- Average worker change jobs 8 times -- make sure that,
even if you change jobs, still have health benefits.
-- Millions of Americans are just a pink slip away from
losing their health insurance, and one serious illness away
from losing all their savings.
-- Millions more are locked into the jobs they now have
because they or someone in their family has once been sick
and they have what is called a pre-existing condition.
-- Millions of workers have had to go to the bargaining
table and trade the pay increases they deserve for the
health care coverage they need.
-- Thirty-seven million Americans, most of them working
people and their families, are uninsured.
-- Cost to workers' wages; to families; to companies; to
government, if we don't act now.
-- Anecdote about union member who suffered because of lack
of health security.
o Praise labor movement for:
-- Negotiating job-based health insurance;
-- Pushing for national health reform
3
o Quote President or figure from labor history on need for
universal health coverage;
-- Now, business has caught up with you; health care
providers have caught up with you; Republican leaders in
Congress have caught up with you. For the first time in this
century, leaders of both political parties have joined
together around the principle of providing universal,
comprehensive health care. It is a magic moment. We must
seize it. And we can achieve the dream of [name of president
or union leader quoted above].
O I have asked Congress to make history and enact health reform
that fulfills these principles: security; savings; choice;
quality; and responsibility.
-- Explain principles in the context of working people.
-- Reassurance:
*
Build on existing system of employer-based
coverage that the unions helped to create.
*
If you have benefits and you like them, you can
keep them.
If your employer covers 100% of your health care
costs, you can keep that.
You will no longer have to trade the pay
increases you deserve for the health care you
need.
Your employers will no longer be at an unfair
disadvantage against companies here in the United
States that do not insure their employees and
against companies from other countries with
national health plans. You will have true
security.
More jobs not fewer, because workers healthier,
businesses more competitive. And new jobs in
health care.
Conclusion
Together, we can build an America that offers a
foundation of security for all our citizens.
An America where people have the confidence to
work hard, study hard, learn new skills, and set
new goals for themselves. Where poor people have
4
the confidence to choose work over welfare; where
working people have the confidence to seek new
jobs that demand higher skills and pay higher
wages; where men and women have the confidence to
build a business from a dream and to invest in
American jobs.
* But none of this matters if we are divided as a
people -- and you know that better than anyone.
* Throughout our history, no other organization
has stood more resolutely than the American labor
movement for the rights of all the people -- blue-
collar and white-collar; women and men; black and
white and Asian and Hispanic. Nobody understands
better than you that, for reasons of fundamental
morality and practical necessity, it is literally
true that we are all going up or down together.
* Now more than ever, America needs the spirit of
solidarity, the courage to change, and the
understanding that we are all in this together.
Together, we can make the country we love
everything that it ought to be.
