(CNN) Robert De Niro reserves his right to speak up, so that's exactly what he did in his SAG Awards speech on Sunday night. While accepting his lifetime achievement award, the legendary actor voiced his support for his union and called on voters to look for candidates who support unions themselves. "Political leaders who support unions are more likely to support affordable care act, equitable taxes, humane immigration regulations, a safe environment, a diverse citizenry, reproductive rights, sensible gun control and fair wages and benefits," he said. "We owe them our support and we owe them our vote." De Niro stopped short of announcing his own endorsement on stage.
