Pro-Labor Quotes from Intelligent People
Why Labor Unions are Important to America ...
Why Unions Are Important to America:
"With all their faults, trade unions have done more for humanity than any other organization of men that ever existed. They have done more for decency, for honesty, for education, for the betterment of the race, for the developing of character in men, than any other association of men."
Clarence DarrowUnions Help Set Acceptable Standards for All Working Americans, Not Just Members:
"Although it is true that only about 20 percent of American workers are in unions, that 20 percent sets the standards across the board in salaries, benefits and working conditions. If you are making a decent salary in a non-union company, you owe that to the unions. One thing that corporations do not do is give out money out of the goodness of their hearts."
Molly IvinsLabor Unions Help Advance American Progress:
"Every advance in this half-century: Social Security, civil rights, Medicare, aid to education... one after another- came with the support and leadership of American Labor."
Jimmy Carter, U.S. PresidentWhat Labor Unions have Contributed to Society:
"The labor movement was the principal force that transformed misery and despair into hope and progress. Out of its bold struggles, economic and social reform gave birth to unemployment insurance, old-age pensions, government relief for the destitute and, above all, new wage levels that meant not mere survival but a tolerable life. The captains of industry did not lead this transformation; they resisted it until they were overcome. When in the thirties the wave of union organization crested over the nation, it carried to secure shores not only itself but the whole society."
Martin Luther King Jr.—Speech to the state convention of the Illinois AFL-CIO, Oct. 7, 1965
Anyone Who Harms Labor, Harms America:
"All that serves labor serves the nation. All that harms is treason. If a man tells you he trusts America, yet fears labor, he is a fool. There is no America without labor, and to fleece the one is to rob the other."
Abraham Lincoln, U.S. PresidentOne last note from little Danny ...
"You can't do it unless you organize."
Samuel Gompers"We organize early!" (picture is Danny Shaffer, grandson of CWA Local 4309 Vice President, Colleen Moughan)
