It is the spirit of trade unionism that is most important, the service of fellowship, the feeling that the hurt of one is the concern of all and that the work of the individual benefits all. ~ Rose Schneiderman
Unionism quotes by Rose Schneiderman
We are convinced that non-violence is more powerful than violence. We are convinced that non-violence supports you if you have a just and moral cause ... If you use violence, you have to sell part of yourself for that violence. Then you are no longer a master of your own struggle. ~ Cesar Chavez
Unionism quotes by Cesar Chavez
We know what unions have done for other people. We have seen it and we have studied and we have cherished the idea of unionism. We have seen the history and development of unions in this country and we tell the growers that we want nothing more, but that we want our own union and we are going to fight for it as long as it takes. ~ Cesar Chavez
Unionism quotes by Cesar Chavez
This led me to understand that trade unionism, the instrument of working-class liberation and of social change could, and indeed should, be also an instrument of industrial progress. ~ Leon Jouhaux
Unionism quotes by Leon Jouhaux
There needs to be nationalist and republican confidence in unionism. ~ Gerry Adams
Unionism quotes by Gerry Adams
To the best of my knowledge, when I became national secretary and, indeed, Victorian secretary, the - my predecessors in the union had detected wrong activities, activities which aren't in the best traditions of the AWU or, indeed, trade unionism. ~ Bill Shorten
Unionism quotes by Bill Shorten
Loyalism, or Unionism, or Protestantism, or whatever you want to call it, in Northern Ireland - it operates not as a class system, but a caste system. ~ Seamus Heaney
Unionism quotes by Seamus Heaney
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist. ~ Martin Niemoller
Unionism quotes by Martin Niemoller
As long as this great army of workers is scattered among so many craft unions, it will be impossible for them to unite and act in harmony together. Craft unionism is the negation of solidarity. The more unions you have, the less unity. ~ Eugene V. Debs
Unionism quotes by Eugene V. Debs
Libraries really are wonderful. They're better than bookshops, even. I mean bookshops make a profit on selling you books, but libraries just sit there lending you books quietly out of the goodness of their hearts. ~ Jo Walton
Unionism quotes by Jo Walton
So they are trying to do something about it. They are not doing it by seeking charity. They are not begging at the welfare office. They are not, like many of their employers, lobbying the halls of Congress with their gold plated tin cups asking to be paid for not growing crops. They are trying to do it in the way that millions of other Americans have shown is the right way-organization, unionism, collective bargaining. ~ Cesar Chavez
Unionism quotes by Cesar Chavez
Fascism recognises the real needs which gave rise to socialism and trade-unionism, giving them due weight in the guild or corporative system in which diverent interests are coordinated and harmonised in the unity of the State. ~ Benito Mussolini
Unionism quotes by Benito Mussolini
All the time our union was progressing very nicely. There were lectures to make us understand what trades unionism is and our real position in the labor movement. ~ Rose Schneiderman
Unionism quotes by Rose Schneiderman
Just as democratic government cannot be condemned because of errors and even crimes committed by men democratically elected, so trade-unionism must not be condemned because of errors or crimes of occasional trade-union leaders. ~ Theodore Roosevelt
Unionism quotes by Theodore Roosevelt
That old unionism was, however, very different from the kind we live with now. We do not live with an ideal, sometimes on the defensive, of union. We live with the overriding, overwhelming fact, a fact so technologically, economically, and politically validated that we usually forget to ask how fully this fact represents a true community, the spiritually significant communion which the old romantic unionism had envisaged. ~ Robert Penn Warren
Unionism quotes by Robert Penn Warren
Modern Australian trade unionism and the unionist that I am doesn't rely on a class war view that somehow that the interests of employees and managers are in two separate spheres and they're irreconcilable. I believe that when people can go to work and be happy, satisfied, engaged, where the employer is getting employees who feel their interests are aligned with the employer, you get productivity. This is the future of Australian workplaces. ~ Bill Shorten
Unionism quotes by Bill Shorten
Trade unionism is not socialism. It is the capitalism of the proletariat. ~ George Bernard Shaw
Unionism quotes by George Bernard Shaw
We draw our strength from the very despair in which we have been forced to live. We shall endure. ~ Cesar Chavez
Unionism quotes by Cesar Chavez
Republican patience with how unionism deals with the political institutions, and with key issues like equality and human rights, will be tested because, obviously, there will be a battle a day on these matters. So lets face up to all of this with our eyes wide open. ~ Gerry Adams
Unionism quotes by Gerry Adams
In the U.S. the powerful critics of austerity such as Paul Krugman and Robert Reich rightly identify the decline of 'labor' as a problem, and renewing trade unionism part of the solution. Our opportunity is to make the same case in the UK. ~ Frances O'Grady
Unionism quotes by Frances O'Grady
Centers of unionism are also the centers of unemployment. ~ Hans F. Sennholz
Unionism quotes by Hans F. Sennholz
Not only the portraits on the walls, but also the shelves in the library were thinned out. The disappearance of certain books and brochures happened discretely, usually the day after the arrival of a new message from above. Rubashov made his sarcastic commentaries on it while dictating to Arlova, who received them in silence. Most of the works on foreign trade and currency disappeared from the shelves – their author, the People's Commissar for Finance, had just been arrested; also nearly all old Party Congress reports treating the same subject; most books and reference-books on the history and antecedents of the Revolution; most works by living authors on problems of birth control; the manuals on the structure of the People's Army; treatises on trade unionism and the right to strike in the People's State; practically every study of the problems of political constitution more than two years old, and, finally, even the volumes of the Encyclopedia published by the Academy – a new revised edition being promised shortly.
New books arrived, too: the classics of social science appeared with new footnotes and commentaries, the old histories were replaced by new histories, the old memoirs of dead revolutionary leaders were replaced by new memoirs of the same defunct. Rubashov remarked jokingly to Arlova that the only thing left to be done was to publish a new and revised edition of the back numbers of all newspapers. ~ Arthur Koestler
Unionism quotes by Arthur Koestler
I believe in trade unionism, and I believe in democracy, in democratic trade unionism. ~ Richard Attenborough
Unionism quotes by Richard Attenborough
Where trade unions are most firmly organized, there are the rights of the people most respected. ~ Samuel Gompers
