Union Movement Quotes

You may see the emergence of a new political party from the body of the trade union movement which represents a very clear-cut socialist alternative policy and which gives expression to the views of the trade union movement in parliament. Arthur Scargill
When I saw Arnold say that he didn't need a union, because people in his position don't need it, I thought, this is a very naive way to present yourself. It's also kinda dumb about making movies. It doesn't realize how the union movement even helps the star. Warren Beatty
And the success of the union movement, historically, has always been to benefit all working men and women - not just people who belong to the union. Warren Beatty
Yes, I think it's really important to acknowledge that Dr. King, precisely at the moment of his assassination, was re-conceptualizing the civil rights movement and moving toward a sort of coalitional relationship with the trade union movement. Angela Davis
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. Samuel Gompers
But among them now were a large number of Communists in positions of great power within the new union movement, some of them actually moving close to the center of power. This was the crack in the wall through which they entered. Their power was to grow and prosper. John T. Flynn
John Sweeney quote: "Working people are under the worst attack in 80 years. Never..."
Working people are under the worst attack in 80 years. Never has there been a stronger need for a stronger union movement. John Sweeney
The union movement has been the best middle class job creating program that America has ever had, and it doesn't cost the government a dime. Andy Stern
There is no doubt that this government and this country are benefiting from the reforms that we brought in the 1980s, and that couldn't have been done without the co-operation of the trade union movement. Bob Hawke
Never has a strong, responsible trade union movement been so needed. With austerity policies biting hard and with no evidence that they are working, people at work need the TUC to speak up for them now more than ever. Frances O'Grady
I think politics can no longer be assigned to parliamentary activity and it probably never could be. But politics with a small p and the history of trade union movement really interests me. Saffron Burrows
To denigrate the union movement in this way is to denigrate the right and the ability of people who are not rich to organize and to accomplish things together. Warren Beatty
Since the war I have stressed altogether five main objectives. The true union of Europe; the union of government with science; the power of government to act rapidly and decisively, subject to parliamentary control; the effective leadership of government to solve the economic problem by use of the wage-price mechanism at the two key-points of the modern industrial world; and a clearly defined purpose for a movement of humanity to ever higher forms. Oswald Mosley
John Sweeney quote: "I think we will see a united labor movement again. When..."
I think we will see a united labor movement again. When workers unite they're stronger. The same goes for unions. John Sweeney
It was the labor movement that helped secure so much of what we take for granted today. The 40-hour work week, the minimum wage, family leave, health insurance, Social Security, Medicare, retirement plans. The cornerstones of the middle-class security all bear the union label. Barack Obama
