Right To Work Laws Quotes & Sayings

Conservatives are also against unions and want to legislate them out of existence via what are called "right to work" laws.

What is "reasonable"? What the union members can negotiate. Unions create freedom. Austerity — George Lakoff

The new laws regulated their freedom of movement, forbade them to associate with slaves, subjected them to surveillance and discipline by whites, denied them the legal right to testify in court against whites, required them to work at approved jobs, and threatened them with penal labor if not actual reenslavement. — David Brion Davis

waiting for love to give myself up at last into his hands. — Rabindranath Tagore
