because the best customer of American industry is the well-paid worker"

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1952
"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 that you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."

"I know that the American labor movement wants for America what I want for America: the elimination of poverty and unemployment, the reestablishment of America's position of leadership in the world, the end of racial discrimination everywhere in our society. I know the American labor movement opposes what I oppose: complacency, unemployment, economic stagnation, and national insecurity. I believe in the things the labor movement believes in and fights for."
John F. Kennedy
OUR LABOR UNIONS ARE NOT NARROW, SELF-SEEKING GROUPS. THEY HAVE RAISED WAGES, SHORTENED HOURS AND PROVIDED SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS. THROUGH COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AND GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES, THEY HAVE BROUGHT JUSTICE AND DEMOCRACY TO THE SHOP FLOOR.
JOHN F. KENNEDY
"Those who would destroy or further limit the rights of organized labor -
those who cripple collective bargaining or prevent organization of the
unorganized - do a disservice to the cause of democracy."

"Pray for the dead, but fight like hell
for the living." - Mother Jones
Mother Jones (1837–1930)
He was elected President in November 1932, to the first of four terms. By March there were 13,000,000 unemployed, and almost every bank was closed. In his first "hundred days," he proposed, and Congress enacted, a sweeping program to bring recovery to business and agriculture, relief to the unemployed and to those in danger of losing farms and homes, and reform, especially through the establishment of the Tennessee Valley Authority.
By 1935 the Nation had achieved some measure of recovery, but businessmen and bankers were turning more and more against Roosevelt's New Deal program. They feared his experiments, were appalled because he had taken the Nation off the gold standard and allowed deficits in the budget, and disliked the concessions to labor. Roosevelt responded with a new program of reform: Social Security, heavier taxes on the wealthy, new controls over banks and public utilities, and an enormous work relief program for the unemployed.
In 1936 he was re-elected by a top-heavy margin. Feeling he was armed with a popular mandate, he sought legislation to enlarge the Supreme Court, which had been invalidating key New Deal measures. Roosevelt lost the Supreme Court battle, but a revolution in constitutional law took place. Thereafter the Government could legally regulate the economy.
