Quote #24 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Workers and Solidarity
“If the present pressure on the capitalists is to be effective it must not be the pressure of a million miners but of at least ten million workers; in other words, it must be a full working-class pressure. To achieve this it is not necessary to have the machinery of industrial unionism: all that is required is the class spirit and unity of demand.”
