Quotes

As I have said many times, and believe with all my heart, the coalition that can have the greatest impact in the struggle for human dignity here in America is that of the blacks and forces of labor, because their fortunes are so closely intertwined.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Where trade unions are most firmly organized, there are the rights of the people most respected.

Samuel Gompers

The right to join a union of one’s choice is unquestioned today and is sanctioned and protected by law.

President Harry S. Truman

Only a fool would try to deprive working men and women of the right to join the union of their choice.

President Dwight Eisenhower

Those who would destroy or further limit the rights of organized labor-those who cripple collective bargaining or prevent the organization of the unorganized-do a disservice to the cause of democracy.

President d John F. Kennedy
