Martin Luther King, Jr.:
"In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, as 'right-to-work.' It provides no 'rights' and no 'works.' Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining... We demand this fraud be stopped." —Speaking on right-to-work laws in 1961
Dwight D. Eisenhower:
"Only a fool would try to deprive working men and working women of their right to join the union of their choice."
Jimmy Carter:
"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 Labor."
Molly Ivins:
"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."
Recall Walker and Stand Up for Wisconsin:
"Screw us, and we multiply."
