Employers and employees alike have
learned that in union there is strength, that a coordination of individual
effort means an elimination of waste, a bettering of living conditions, and is
in fact, the father of prosperity.
Governor Franklin D.
Roosevelt (D-N.Y., 1929-1932), 6/8/1929

Those who would destroy or further limit the rights of organized
labor-those who cripple collective bargaining or prevent organization of the
unorganized-do a disservice to the cause of democracy.

Right-to-Work Laws
(Right-to-Work laws) are a virtual
conspiracy of the crafty, the ignorant, or the misguided to subvert industrial
peace, exploit men's need to work and deluge the community with industrial
irresponsibility. 'Right-to-Work' laws do not create jobs; they only victimize
the worker and make his organization ineffective.
