Today in labor history Dec 9 bars from membership “parasites,” including stockbrokers & lawyers

December 09

Knights of Labor founded. Constitution bars from membership “parasites,” including stockbrokers and lawyers - 1869


December 9, 1990 - Lech Walesa, leader of the Solidarity trade union, was elected president of Poland. In 1980, Walesa helped form Solidarity and, under his leadership, the union pushed for improved working conditions and democratic reforms. Their efforts were aided by the AFL-CIO and unions in the United States. In 1983, Walesa won the Nobel Peace Prize.

1. I believe that organized labor will get one last chance to turn this
country around and I believe that chance will come soon.

Nothing positive that the unions have ever gained has come easy, or without a fight.
