It is essential that there should be organization of labor. This is an era of organization. Capital organizes and therefore labor must organize.

Organized labor, if they're doing a responsible job, is going to organize the pooling of small amounts of money to protect the interests of the people who are not rich.

Make no mistake about it! There is an organized movement against organized labor and it's called the Bush Administration.

Organizing gives workers the power to lift themselves out of poverty and build a better future.

In a democracy there are only two types of power: there's organized people and organized money, and organized money only wins when people aren't organized.

There's not democracy in the workplace. I mean, through most of our daily lives, the idea of democracy is fairly nonexistent. And I think things work better when the people who have to work with whatever it is we're working with have a say in how it's working.

Democracy divides people into workers and loafers. It makes no provision for those who have no time to work.

All wealth is the product of labor.

I believe if an individual wants to join organized labor and work under a union contract, they should have the legal right to do so. At the same token, a person who does not want to work under organized labor and wants to work should have the ability to do so without the threat of having to join and having to pay dues to organized labor.

Here we are to remember that in consequence of our opinion that labor is the Father and active principle of wealth, as lands are the Mother, that the state by killing, mutilating, or imprisoning their members do withal punish themselves.
