"To remember the loneliness, the fear and the insecurity of men who once had to walk alone in huge factories, beside huge machines - to realize that labor unions have meant new dignity and pride to millions of our countrymen - human companionship on the job, and music in the home - to be able to see what larger pay checks mean, not to a man as an employee, but as a husband and as a father - to know these things is to understand what American labor means." Adlai Stevenson - 1952
