A little wisdom from those who marched before us.... |
Samuel Gompers - AFL President "What does labor want? We want more schoolhouses and less jails; more books and less arsenals; more learning and less vice; more leisure and less greed; more justice and less revenge; in fact, more of the opportunities to cultivate our better natures, to make manhood more noble, womanhood more beautiful and childhood more happy and bright." |
Franklin D. Roosevelt - President 1933 - 1945 "No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level. I mean the wages of decent living." |
"Don't mourn for me. Organize." - Labor organizer Joe Hill's last words before execution on trumped-up charges, 1915 |
