Portal:Organized Labour/Featured Quote/55

We were never meant to be beggars at the table of wealth. We were never meant to be the apostles of labor cannibalism on the world stage. We were meant for a higher destiny! We were never meant to be the lieutenants of capitalism. We were never meant to be the pallbearers of the workers of the world.

-- John F. Henning, Executive Secretary-Treasurer, California Labor Federation, 1994
