I believe in trade unionism, and I believe in democracy, in democratic trade unionism.

I think the business community is smart enough to realise that just having a trade union is not enough. They are smart enough to know they need to be part of a union that has political and financial power.

People have to be reminded that unions played a very historic role in our economy.

I'm a passionate trade unionist.

The trade union movement represents the organized economic power of the workers... It is in reality the most potent and the most direct social insurance the workers can establish.

I'm a big believer in the value of labor unions and with what collective effort gets people.

I am a proud trade unionist.

I think business, government and unions have to work together, and the common enemies to the global economy. We're being beaten by the global economy, and we've got to unite together to win.

All the time our union was progressing very nicely. There were lectures to make us understand what trades unionism is and our real position in the labor movement.
