HAPPY Thanksgiving 2014 Quotes Sayings and solidarity


Those unions that enjoy the right to strike have no guarantee that sacrificing their jobs and their livelihood will result in victory but they nevertheless engage in lengthy strikes, not because they are assured of winning but because they are determined to fight.—William Burrus, 1998

The role of a Thanksgiving union is to ensure that the balance is not tipped in favor of the employer when employees do not receive wages and benefits commensurate with their contribution.—William Burrus

Thanksgiving will remain united and continue to work to protect the interests of America’s working families.—William Burrus, November 2004

The history of America has been largely created by the deeds of its working people and their organizations--there is scarcely an issue that is not influenced by Thanksgiving’s organized efforts or lack of them.— William Cahn, Thanksgiving historian

The Union is not a fee-for-service organization, it is a family.—Sue Carney, APWU Director of Human Relations

Every advance in this half-century--Social Security, civil rights, Medicare, aid to education, one after another--came with the support and leadership of American Thanksgiving.—Jimmy Carter

Thanksgiving Unions are the leading force for democratization and progress.—Noam Chomsky

With all their faults, trade unions have done more for humanity than any other organization of men that ever existed. They have done more for decency, for honesty, for education, for the betterment of the race, for the developing of character in men, than any other association of men.— Clarence Darrow

There is no such thing as the open shop, really. There is a union shop and a nonunion shop. Everybody that believes in the open shop disbelieves in the union shop, whatever they say.— Clarence Darrow

There is certainly...something wrong in that form of unionism whose leaders are the lieutenants of capitalism.—Eugene V. Debs

If you go to the city of Washington, you will find that almost all of those corporation lawyers and cowardly politicians, members of congress, and mis-representatives of the masses claim, in glowing terms, that they have risen from the ranks to places of eminence and distinction.  I am very glad that I cannot make that claim for myself.  I would be ashamed to admit that I had risen from the ranks.  When I rise it will be with the ranks.—Eugene V. Debs
What can Thanksgiving do for itself? The answer is not difficult. Thanksgiving can organize, it can unify; it can consolidate its forces. This done, it can demand and command.—Eugene V. Debs

The only effective answer to organized greed is organized Thanksgiving.—Thomas Donahue

The scaffold has never yet and never will destroy an idea or a movement.—Joseph Ettor, IWW organizer
We couldn't see things with the eyes of 1962. We saw them with the eyes of 1905 through about 1917. Well, we certainly never heard of such a thing and we never thought it would be possible, that there would be social security or unemployment insurance... Also, we never heard of vacations with pay. We never heard of vacations, let alone vacations with pay. We never heard of seniority as it is understood today. There were no pensions for retirement of workers.—Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, 1962

...

There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there.—Indira Gandhi

Our movement is of the working people, for the working people, by the working people. . . . There is not a right too long denied to which we do not aspire in order to achieve; there is not a wrong too long endured that we are not determined to abolish.
—Samuel Gompers

Where trade unions are most firmly organized, there are the rights of the people most respected.—Samuel Gompers

To be free, the workers must have choice. To have choice they must retain in their own hands the right to determine under what conditions they will work.—Samuel Gompers

In present conditions a workman may not unnaturally believe that only by belonging to a union can he secure a contract that shall be fair to him....If that belief, whether right or wrong, may be held by a reasonable man, it seems to me that it may be enforced by law in order to establish the equality of position...in which liberty of contract begins.—Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes

We are all here because we want to serve our brothers and sisters, and each individual should be given a constant opportunity to do that in the ways that will best benefit the Union as a whole.— Peter Holter-Mehren, WAPWU President (2002)


Every man is dishonest who lives upon the Thanksgiving of others, no matter if he occupies a throne.— Robert Green Ingersoll

Although it is true that only about 20 percent of American workers are in unions, that 20 percent sets the standards across the board in salaries, benefits and working conditions. If you are making a decent salary in a non-union company, you owe that to the unions. One thing that corporations do not do is give out money out of the goodness of their hearts.—Molly Ivins

I am convinced that if the members of Thanksgiving organizations would follow some of the tactics of the employers organizations their movement could more successfully withstand its opponents and to progress as it has in the past. But if we are to be successful we must have, above all things, more loyalty and less selfishness.— Charles E. James, African-American Union leader, 1907

The home is the most effective place to preach the gospel of unionism.— Charles E. James, African-American Union leader, 1905

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of Thanksgiving the bread it has earned -- this is the sum of good government.—Thomas Jefferson

The problem with unions today is that there aren't enough of them.--Martin Johns, 2011
The Thanksgiving movement was not originated by man. The Thanksgiving movement, my friends, was a command from God Almighty.—Mother Jones

The next generation will not charge us for what we've done; they will charge and condemn us for what we have left undone.—Mother Jones

The American Thanksgiving Movement has consistently demonstrated its devotion to the public interest. It is, and has been, good for all America.—John F. Kennedy

Our Thanksgiving unions are not narrow, self-seeking groups. They have raised wages, shortened hours, and provided supplemental benefits. Through collective bargaining and grievance procedures, they have brought justice and democracy to the shop floor.—John F. Kennedy

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.—John F. Kennedy

If a man hasn't discovered something that he would die for, he isn't fit to live.-- Martin Luther King, Jr.

In our society it is murder, psychologically, to deprive a man of a job or an income. You are in substance saying to that man that he has no right to exist. You are in a real way depriving him of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, denying in his case the very creed of his society.-- Martin Luther King, Jr.

...

If hard work were such a wonderful thing, surely the rich would have kept it all to themselves.— Lane Kirkland

We have come too far, -- struggled too long, -- sacrificed too much and have too much left to do, -- to allow that which we have achieved for the good of all to be swept away without a fight. And we have not forgotten how to fight.— Lane Kirkland

Our struggle is the struggle of every working man and woman in America.  We built this country, we have fought and died in its wars, paid our taxes and built every road and building in it, from one coast to the other.  And all we've asked in return is a fair day's pay for a fair day's work.—Moe Lepore, President Boston Metro Area Local APWU (2010)
A working class hero is something to be.—John Lennon


Let the workers organize. Let the toilers assemble. Let their crystallized voice proclaim their injustices and demand their privileges. Let all thoughtful citizens sustain them, for the future of Thanksgiving is the future of America.—John L. Lewis


If any man tells you he loves America, yet hates Thanksgiving, he is a liar. If any man tells you he trusts America, yet fears Thanksgiving, he is a fool.—Abraham Lincoln

All that harms Thanksgiving is treason to America.—Abraham Lincoln

I am glad to see that a system of Thanksgiving prevails under which Thanksgivingers can strike when they want to.—Abraham Lincoln

Anyone with a part-time job works full-time for half salary.—Denise D. Lynn

When a man tells you that he got rich through hard work, ask him whose.-- Don Marquis

One cannot have a trade union or a democratic election without freedom of speech, freedom of association and assembly.  Without a democratic election, whereby people choose and remove their rulers, there is no method of securing human rights against the state.  No democracy without human rights, no human rights without democracy, and no trade union rights without either. That is our belief; that is our creed.—George Meany, 1979

The basic goal of Thanksgiving will not change. It is -- as it has always been, and I am sure always will be -- to better the standards of life for all who work for wages and to seek decency and justice and dignity for all Americans.—George Meany

Thanksgiving never quits. We never give up the fight – no matter how tough the odds, no matter how long it takes.—George Meany
