Those who attack labor forget these simple truths, but history remembers them." Martin Luther King Jr.

"Every advance in this half-century: Social Security, civil rights, Medicare, aid to education... one after another- came with the support and leadership of American Labor." Jimmy Carter

"It is one of the characteristics of a free and democratic nation that it have free and independent labor unions."
Franklin Delano Roosevelt

"Join the union, girls, and together say Equal Pay for Equal Work." Susan B. Anthony

"Without labor nothing prospers." -Sophocles
