Political Factoid
President's Speech to the Nation (extracts)
- "Workers have a right to organize into
unions and to bargain collectively with
their employers, and
... a strong, free labor movement is an
invigorating and necessary part of our
industrial society."
- "Only a fool would try to deprive working
men and working women of their right to
join the union of their choice."
- "Should any political party attempt to
abolish social security, unemployment
insurance, and eliminate labor laws and
farm programs, you would not hear of
that party again in
our political history.
There is a tiny splinter group, of course,
that believes you can do these things
... [but] their number is negligible and
they are stupid."
- Republican President Dwight Eisenhower
