Labor Laws Quotes

• En nuestra gloriosa lucha por los derechos civiles, debemos evitar que nos engañen con falsos eslóganes, como el "derecho al trabajo". No proporciona ningún "derecho" ni ningún "trabajo". Su objetivo es destruir los sindicatos y la libertad de negociación colectiva. .... Exigimos que se ponga fin a este fraude.

• No creo en una ley que impida a un hombre enriquecerse; haría más mal que bien. Así que, aunque no proponemos ninguna guerra contra el capital, sí deseamos que el hombre más humilde tenga las mismas oportunidades de enriquecerse que los demás.

• Y lo que ayudaría a los trabajadores de las minorías son las mismas cosas que ayudarían a los trabajadores blancos: la oportunidad de ganar un salario digno, la educación y la formación que conducen a esos puestos de trabajo, leyes laborales y fiscales que restablezcan cierto equilibrio en la distribución de la riqueza de la nación.

• Si algún partido político intentara abolir la seguridad social, el seguro de desempleo y eliminar las leyes laborales y los programas agrícolas, no se volvería a oír hablar de ese partido en nuestra historia política. Por supuesto, hay un pequeño grupo disidente que cree que se pueden hacer estas cosas. Entre ellos hay algunos otros millonarios del petróleo de Texas y algún que otro político u hombre de negocios de otras zonas. Su número es insignificante y son estúpidos.

• The poor, stupid, free American citizen! Free to starve, free to tramp the highways of this great country, he enjoys universal suffrage, and by that right, he has forged chains around his limbs. The reward that he receives is stringent labor laws prohibiting the right of boycott, of picketing, of everything, except the right to be robbed of the fruits of his labor.

• Kids don't have a little brother working in the coal mine, they don't have a little sister coughing her lungs out in the looms of the big mill towns of the Northeast. Why? Because we organized; we broke the back of the sweatshops in this country; we have child labor laws. Those were not benevolent gifts from enlightened management. They were fought for, they were bled for, they were died for by working people, by people like us. Kids ought to know that.

• [The right] may never bring prayer back to schools, but it has rescued all manner of rightwing economic nostrums from history's dustbins. Having rolled back the landmark economic reforms of the sixties (the war on poverty) and those of the thirties (labor law, agricultural price supports, banking regulation), its leaders now turn their guns on the accomplishments of the earliest years of progressivism (Woodrow Wilson's estate tax; Theodore Roosevelt's anti-trust measures). With a little more effort, the backlash may well repeal the entire twentieth century.
