When Any Person Suffers For Someone In

In The No-nonsense School Of Adversity, Which We Did Not Choose For Ourselves, We Are Learning How To Operate A Labor Union.

I Am An Organizer, Not A Union Leader. A Good Organizer Has To Work Hard And Long. There Are No Shortcuts. You Just Keep Talking To People, Working With Them, Sharing, Exchanging And They Come Along.

Look At The John Birch Society. Look At Hitler. The Reactionaries Are Always Better Organizers.

I Remember With Strong Feelings The Families Who Joined Our Movement And Paid Dues Long Before There Was Any Hope Of Winning Contracts. Sometimes, Fathers And Mothers Would Take Money Out Of Their Meager Food Budgets Just Because They Believed That Farm Workers Could And Must Build Their Own Union. I Remember Thinking Then That With Spirit Like That... We Had To Win. No Force On Earth Could Stop Us.

The Poor, You Know, Have A Way Of Solving Problems...they Have A Tremendous Capacity For Suffering. And So When You Build A Vehicle To Get Something Done, As We've Done Here In The Strike And The Boycott, Then They Continue To Suffer - And Maybe A Little Bit More - But The Suffering Becomes Less Important Because They See A Chance Of Progress; Sometimes Progress Itself. They've Been Suffering All Their Live.s It's A Question Of Suffering With Some Kind Of Hope Now. That's Better Than Suffering With No Hope At All.
