"The labor movement means just this: It is the last noble protest of the American people against the power of incorporated wealth."

Wendell Phillips

Let the workers organize. Let the toilers assemble. Let their crystallized voice proclaim their injustices and demand their privileges. Let all thoughtful citizens sustain them, for the future of Labor is the future of America.

John L. Lewis

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

Dwight Eisenhower

If I went to work in a factory the first thing I'd do is join a union.

Franklin D. Roosevelt
