The stool has three legs

The following is the quote of the month on a dormant blog site. It struck me as a reminder that today's labor movement is not built on the same foundation as the labor movement of old. Perhaps there is a lesson to be learned.

"I have three pictures side by side in my house: John L. Lewis, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Jesus. I draw Social Security on account of FDR. I draw a pension on account of John L. Lewis, and I'm going to Heaven because of Jesus."
