Quote by Irving Babbitt

And the success of the union movement, historically, has always been to benefit all working men and women - not just people who belong to the union.

Quote by Warren Beatty about union, man, people

To denigrate the union movement in this way is to denigrate the right and the ability of people who are not rich to organize and to accomplish things together.

Quote by Warren Beatty about union, wealth, ability, rightness, things, people

When I saw Arnold say that he didn't need a union, because people in his position don't need it, I thought, this is a very naive way to present yourself. It's also kinda dumb about making movies. It doesn't realize how the union movement even...
