We make our own labor unions. We organize our labor into units of 300, and then the representatives of these 300 meet together every week. Then every fortnight they meet with the head men.

If we're all together, we have money, and we start to organize, you're going to see the Teamsters Union start to bloom.
One of the great things about unions is they're member driven and give us the great ability to both lead and follow at the same time.
What's going on in this country? Unions stand against those trends. We've got to somehow insulate the robust American economy from this global economy that seems to want to devour our standard of living.
Unions can play a valuable role in large organisations where it is difficult to talk to a thousand people. They can negotiate annual pay awards with management, represent grievance cases, and explain and advise on complicated changes in employment or pension law.
Unions go hand-in-hand with a strong middle class.
There is nothing that says unions have a God-given right to be there. We have to work at it and make ourselves relevant to every section of the workforce.
Public unions are big money.
We have seen a central government promote the power of labor-union bosses, and in turn be supported by that power, until it has become entirely too much a government of and for one class, which is exactly what our Founding Fathers wanted most to prevent.
That's what unions do. They can get money, they can get support, they can get manpower.
My problem with unions is they breed mediocrity.
