What my Republican colleagues often don't understand is that labor is a human-rights issue. I have to remind them Lech Walesa and the Solidarity movement brought down the Communist bloc.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
This is the crux of the problem: because the Republicans and the right wing have been successful in almost eliminating unions, everyone else has suffered as a result.
I think we will see a united labor movement again. When workers unite they're stronger. The same goes for unions.
Make no mistake about it! There is an organized movement against organized labor and it's called the Bush Administration.
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.
The labor movement means just this: it is the last noble protest of the American people against the power of incorporated wealth.

Fair treatment in the work force is no longer exclusively a labor issue, nor is it a women's issue - it is a fundamental economic issue.
Labor has a proud history of tackling discrimination and introducing important social reform.
