Quote #7 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Workers and Working Class Society
“The rank and file of all unions, barring their ignorance, are all right. The working class as a whole is all right. Many of them are misguided, and stand in the light of their own interest.
It is sometimes necessary that we offend you and even shock you, that you may understand that we are your friends and not your enemies.”
