THE RICH HAVE A HOLIDAY EVERY DAY WORKING PEOPLE HAVE MAY DAY LET'S CELEBRATE MAY 1

LABOR CREATES ALL WEALTH National Lawyers Guild

"Those whose lot it is to toil within the earth's recesses, surrounded by peculiar dangers and deprived of sunlight and pure air, producing the commodity which makes possible the world's progress, are entitled to protection and an equitable share of the fruits of their labor." -UMWA Constitution.

"WE ARE NOT AFRAID. IF THIS IS WHAT IT TAKES TO BUILD A UNION, A FREE AND DEMOCRATIC UNION, AND A GOOD UNION FOR GOOD PEOPLE, WE'RE WILLING TO DO IT. AS LONG AS THERE'S ONE OUNCE OF STRENGTH IN OUR BODIES, THAT OUNCE OF STRENGTH WILL BE USED TO FIGHT FOR THIS GOOD CAUSE. AND IN THE END, WE WILL WIN."

They Are Going to Take Everything If We Don't Stop Them The government is going to destroy unions if we don't fight now.

The worst thing the federal government has done to unions in my lifetime happened last night. The second worst thing was three weeks ago.

The labor movement will either protect ourselves right now or be smashed. That's all there is to it.
