Abraham Lincoln:

“All that serves labor serves the nation. All that harms is treason…If a man tells you he loves America, yet hates

Labor, he is a liar…There is no America without Labor, and to fleece one is to rob the other.”

Franklin D. Roosevelt:

“If I were a worker in a factory, the first thing I would do would be to join a union.”

Woodrow Wilson:

“While we are fighting for freedom, we must see, among other things, that labor is free.”

Union Steward’s Prayer

Grant me, Oh Lord, the genius to explain to my brothers and sisters the policies and plans of our great union even though

no one explains them to me. Give me the understanding that I may forgive the apathetic member, curb the overly ambitious member,

and accept the views of the member who does nothing until I have done something, and then tells me what I should have done and how.

Oh Lord, make me formidable in debate, logical in argument and fearless in confrontation. Let me be a lawyer, actor, mathematician,

sage, philosopher, sociologist, and economist; help me to be pleasing, cajoling, threatening, and belaboring so that I make the best of a

good case and a good case from no case at all. Teach me, Oh Lord, to stand at all times with both feet firmly on the ground,

even when I don’t have a leg to stand on.
