Unions Quotes

The crucial role communists played in organizing industrial unions in the 1930s and struggling for social reforms, peace, and civil rights strengthened rather then undermined democratic forces Picture Quote #1

Union busting has become a major industry with more than a thousand consulting firms teaching companies how to prevent workers from organizing and how to get rid of existing unions Picture Quote #1

Large corporations and unions know the power of being big enough to bargain for better rates Picture Quote #1

What until then seemed impossible to achieve has become a fact of life. We have won the right to association in trade unions independent from the authorities, founded and shaped by the working people themselves Picture Quote #1

Gay unions, what is that about? I haven’t been invited to any ceremonies, and I wouldn’t go anyway. The idea that gay people have to mimic what obviously doesn’t work for straight people any more... I think is a bit tragic. I am looking forward to gay divorces Picture Quote #1

No doubt I shall go on writing, stumbling across tundras of unmeaning, planting words like bloody flags in my wake. Loose ends, things unrelated, shifts, nightmare journeys, cities arrived at and left, meetings, desertions, betrayals, all manner of unions, adulteries, triumphs, defeats…these are the facts Picture Quote #1

Although unions may be good for a worker, singular, they are not always good for workers, plural. Especially when it comes to finding a job Picture Quote #1

Tariffs, government contracts, naval and military spending, nationalized industries, tax policy, social welfare, the legal privileging of labor unions were among the means at the disposal of the governing class to exploit the public at large for the benefits of its various clienteles Picture Quote #1

At the heart of the gay marriage argument is an untruth: unions of two men or women are not the same as unions of husband and wife. The law cannot make it so, it can only require us to paint pretty pictures to cover up deep truths embedded in human nature Picture Quote #1

We’ve got customers. We’ve got suppliers. We’ve got employees. We’ve got unions. We’ve got communities. We’ve got all of these things that go into making up whether a business succeeds or fails Picture Quote #1

I recognize that as governor, my job is to sit on the other side of the table from the public sector unions and negotiate effectively on behalf of all the taxpayers of the state, including all of you Picture Quote #1

Given the fact that many thousands of female workers are active in history, it is vital for the trade unions to incorporate them into their movement Picture Quote #1

There is something special about unions of husband and wife. Unless we bring men and women together, children will not have mothers and fathers Picture Quote #1

It’s not about the budget; it’s about the power... So will the attack on unions succeed? I don’t know. But anyone who cares about retaining government of the people by the people should hope that it doesn’t Picture Quote #1

When fewer workers have unions, the standard of living falls for everyone and the gap between the rich and poor grows Picture Quote #1

The only way to grow the economy in a way that benefits the bottom 90 percent is to change the structure of the economy. At the least, this requires stronger unions and a higher minimum wage Picture Quote #1

Some people called me a fascist. That’s mostly over, but there will be more attacks from the unions Picture Quote #1

In the political context fair means somebody that will vote for the unions or for the business. It can’t mean that in the judicial context or we’re in real trouble Picture Quote #1

If you have poor management that’s not doing the right job, you end up with unions filling the void and... page after page of work rules and thicker and thicker contracts Picture Quote #1

Many unions have contracts with employers that are based on a multiple of the prevailing minimum wage. If the minimum wage goes up, union salaries go up by a similar percentage Picture Quote #1

The unions are the worst thing that ever happened to education because it’s not a meritocracy. It turns into a bureaucracy, which is exactly what has happened. The teachers can’t teach and administrators run the place and nobody can be fired. It’s terrible Picture Quote #1

I would rather have strong enemies than a world of passive individualists. In a world of passive individualists nothing seems worth anything simply because nobody stands for anything. That world has no convictions, no victories, no unions, no heroism, no absolutes, no heartbeat. That world has rigor mortis Picture Quote #1

The true face of the unions is not now a man in a hard hat as much as it is a woman in a classroom or in cleaning smocks Picture Quote #1

I have to admit that many of the relationships I write about are destructive, but that’s the yin to the yang of a good relationship. Maybe you have to experience the terrible ones to appreciate the good unions! Picture Quote #1
