Labor Quotes
"The right to bargain
collectively is at the bottom of social justice for the
worker. The denial or observance of this right means the
difference between despotism and
democracy."
-- Franklin Delano
Roosevelt
"If it is good for Workers, it will be good for Business!"
-- Ed Knox, IBEW Local 68
"I have been voting Democratic and financing their campaigns for 55 years, and they would support Labor and especially Organized Labor. Many of them are letting us down. I say if they are going to vote like Republicans, they should run as Republicans. I am tired of backing Democrats that vote against us."
-- former Colorado AFL-CIO President Norm Pledger to Bob Young,
with his check, joining the Labor Initiative.
"We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope."
-- Martin Luther King Jr.
"Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore. We have seen the future, and the future is ours."
-- Cesar Chavez
"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans."
-- Paul Wellstone
"If capitalism is fair then unionism
must be. If men have a right to capitalize their ideas and the
resources of their country, then that implies the right of men to
capitalize their labor."
-- Frank Lloyd Wright
