Cesar Chavez
“Let me tell you, I'm a union member myself, ... I believe very strongly in unions. What my objection is to having union bosses take money out of a worker's paycheck and use it for political campaigns without permission is wrong.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger
“We believe this is a tactic by a public sector union to gain a foothold in the diamond industry - an industry where this union has never been before. This union has launched an aggressive and misleading campaign that is threatening and intimidating our employees.”
Roy Lenardon
“With all their faults, trade unions have done more for humanity than any other organization of men that ever existed. They have done more for decency, for honesty, for education, for the betterment of the race, for the developing of character in man, than any other association of men.”
Clarence Darrow
“I'm in favor of this, ... We did it for the unions, and I believe these people deserve recognition for their time of service to the town.”
Charles Shultz
“The demands of one union screwed it up for everybody, including other unions, ... I think their representative overplayed their hand and thereby cost his and other unions a significant amount of work.”
Kevin Murray
“The ball is in their court. We believe we have presented a fair contract. We are asking that the union reconsider their decision.”
