Quote of the Day (for tomorrow)


'LABOR LIFTED THE WHOLE NATION'



"History is a great teacher. Now everyone knows that the labor movement did not diminish the strength of the nation but enlarged it.

By raising the living standards of millions, labor miraculously created a market for industry and lifted the whole nation to undreamed of levels of production.

Those who attack labor forget these simple truths, but history remembers them."

- The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., speech to the AFL-CIO, Dec. 11, 1961
