"The
basic goal of labor will not change. It is -- as it has always been, and I am
sure always will be -- to better the standards of life for all who work for wages
and to seek decency and justice and dignity for all Americans."
One
cannot have a trade union or a democratic election without freedom of speech,
freedom of association and assembly. Without a democratic election, whereby people
choose and remove their rulers, there is no method of securing human rights against
the state. No democracy without human rights, no human rights without democracy,
and no trade union rights without either. That is our belief; that is our creed."
Every
piece of progressive social legislation passed by Congress in the 20th century
bears a union label.
Labor
never quits. We never give up the fight – no matter how tough the odds, no matter
how long it takes.
