People have a fundamental right to organize. It's rooted very much in the Constitution and people's right to free association.

I believe in workers' rights when people are doing a good job.

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

Every individual should have both the right to join a union and the right to not join a union should they so choose. It's about basic human freedom.

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.

In the U.S the right is very wide. From Neo con's to almost Anarchist.

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.

It is the right of our people to organize to oppose any law and any part of the Constitution with which they are not in sympathy.

We want to make sure that workers know their rights and that employers know their obligations. That is the best way to protect workers.

In any great organization it is far, far safer to be wrong with the majority than to be right alone.
