 "You
know, if you look back at the history of our great country you'll
see one very significant parallel. When the American labor
movement is strong and healthy, our economy and our society are
strong and healthy. Likewise, when the American labor movement is
weak, you usually find that our economy is weak and our society
suffers the ailments of an unhealthy economy."
"So, it should be easy to understand why
union organizing is so important, not just to an individual union,
but to our entire country. And that is why I plan to expand
organizing in my administration and devote more resources to
growing the ranks of organized workers."
