“What is a labour victory? I maintain that it is a twofold thing. Workers must gain economic advantage, but they must also gain revolutionary spirit, in order to achieve a complete victory. For workers to gain a few cents more a day, a few minutes less a day, and go back to work with the same psychology, the same attitude toward society is to achieve a temporary gain and not a lasting victory.” InspirationalSpiritOrderAttitudePsychologySocietyEconomicMinutesAchieveRevolutionVictoryGainsAdvantageLaborWorkersFeministRevolutionaryLabourLastingTemporaryCentsBack To WorkOrganized Labor Author:Elizabeth Gurley Flynn
“It should be the privilege of every worker to take advantage of all the improved methods of working that relieve him from the tedium and fatigue of purely mechanical toil, for by this means he gains leisure for the thought necessary to working out his designs, and for the finer touches that the hand alone can give.
