There is nothing stronger than the American labor movement. United, we cannot and we will not be turned aside. We'll work for it, sisters and brothers. We'll stand for it. Together. Each of us. To bring out the best in America. To bring out the best in ourselves, and each other.

The question is always 'What is the role of a labor movement?' How much is about collective bargaining, how much is about social change for all workers?

True Americanism recognizes the enormous gravity of the social and labor problems which confront us.

I think we will see a united labor movement again. When workers unite they're stronger. The same goes for unions.

The U.S. has done a great job improving productivity. We're making a lot more steel in Dearborn with fewer people. The unions have accepted much better work rules.

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

I think Americans generally are not used to working very hard, in terms of working for the collective. I think in our country we have taken individualism to its farthest reaches, possibly.

Labor is at its best when we are the party of ideas and action - ideas that empower the powerless and actions that build a better Australia for the long term.

Working people are under the worst attack in 80 years. Never has there been a stronger need for a stronger union movement.
