Believe and you will be effective
An extract from a speech to the 2005 convention by Ron Sims, King County Executive
IF YOU BELONG to a union, believe in it. It does not mean you have joined a club or an organization. It means you have a fundamental belief in your right to organize and bargain. It’s important for you to believe that you are effective and you will prevail, even though there are challenges.
You are in a growing, dynamic union whose voice is heard in city, county and state. Walk like a champion. Act like a champion.
Organized labor is a credible part of this great experiment that is America. The issue is whether your hopes and dreams will be realized. I want you to believe. Life is short, life is wonderful, but it is magnificent when you believe.
Change the world; it waits for you.
