They are trying to do an end-run around the union and go directly to the membership, ... They believe that what they're doing is acceptable to the membership, but not to the leadership.

Gary Chaison

Man was born to be rich, or grow rich by use of his faculties, by the union of thought with nature. Property is an intellectual production. The game requires coolness, right reasoning, promptness, and patience in the players. Cultivated labor drives out brute labor.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

We're a healthcare union. He's a doctor. He's delivered healthcare at the bedside, delivered it as governor of the state, and our people feel he's the right person for our union.

Andy Stern

This was a tough loss. We're looking for some credibility and the way to get it is to beat teams from Union County. But our kids will show up tomorrow and they'll keep working hard.

Bernie Buniak

Under these agreements projects are built on time and under budget. That is why they have been used to build major public works projects like the Hiawatha Light Rail Line, the Minnesota Department of Revenue Building and the Orville L. Freeman Office Building. All contractors have the opportunity to work under a project labor agreement, union and non-union alike.

Dick Anfang

Gaiety is the most outstanding feature of the Soviet Union.

Joseph Stalin

When you think of the person who goes to Disneyland and spends $500 and puts it on the credit card and their interest rate is 15 percent (debt) ... the person that puts it in the credit union is getting 4 percent (gain). The difference is close to 20 percent.

Dan Casey

Union endorsements have a significant impact on what members do, less on their families and others. Newspaper editorials mostly help when they confirm what someone is thinking of doing anyway.

John Mollenkopf

We have been working with the Union City Board of for about a year. I had delivered a keynote address at a National School Board Association conference, which Superintendent Stanley Sanger attended and followed up with me afterwards.

Dr. Gerry House

For us, the Second World War and its sequels will end only ... when we become members of the NATO alliance and when we can be assured of not ever being occupied again as we were by two occupying powers: Stalinist Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.

Vaira Vike Freiberga

The union of two women and two men can never consummate a marriage. It's physically impossible. We can't get around that. You can be a family, absolutely. You can be loving, and I respect that absolutely. But you're not married. The other 49 states are right and we are wrong.

Phil Travis

This is a highly significant report coming as it does from an affiliate body of the African Union.

Iden Wetherell

Germany had a balancing function not only in European politics but in the European Union, between Britain and France, between Western Europe and Eastern Europe, and between Europe and the United States.

Katinka Barysch

Such cooperation will help to break the US monopoly in manned space flight . But more significant is that it will facilitate the world's space research if Russia, China and the European Union coordinated together on space research.

Shen Jiru

If Delphi and its union collective bargain group have negotiate something that is represented to the judge by Delphi and the union, who are actually the parties involved, that is acceptable to them and is in the best interest of Delphi getting out of Chapter Eleven and rehabilitating itself, the judge is going to be hard pressed to not accept that.

James Mctevia

We're pleased to put this behind us. This has been two years of turmoil and bullying by this union.

Cassandra Phelps

The union was notified of the company's intent to relocate 130,000 hours of machining work to Singapore.

Ted Dever

On New Year's Day 1992 there was no more a Soviet Union. We had to start all over again with a new set of people.

Ronen Sen

The shift has been toward the former Soviet Union to Asian countries.

Jason Goulden

He was focused on one thing: organizing a union.

Alfredo Figueroa

The labor movement — especially in Queens County — is strong, as evidenced in the great strides that labor has made with future union members — new Americans, ... We're doing a great job of organizing and it's reflecting in our numbers. New York's union membership is actually up, despite the national membership shrinking.

Brian Mclaughlin

Some very difficult decisions have been made, not only by the union leadership, but by our members as well.

Chris Buckley

Late this summer we'll be going into union discussions. That contract expires Nov. 30, so we'll need to pull that stuff together. And then we've got budgets to work on. There's going to be quite a few key administrative things that the new director is going to have to deal with pretty much from the get-go.

Mike Troup

I am representing all union leaders and if I allow what happened to me to go untested, then any old group could band together and overthrow the decisions of their presidents.

James Kemp

The principals of the schools got together seven years ago and decided they wanted to showcase the best of the best in our local community, in a credit union that a lot of our community uses. We give out monetary prizes and award certificates, and we have a reception. It's been going great.

April Walker

If we don't have ratification by all three unions at that time, we are left with no choice but to file bankruptcy. It's a deadline the union leadership has been aware of for quite some time.

Bruce Hicks

Long ago we stated the reason for labour organizations. We said that union was essential to give labourers opportunity to deal on an equality with their employers.

US Supreme Court

Will there be a version that is specific for the European union? Yes, there has to be.

Neil Holloway

We are neither pro nor anti-union. We believe that it's a function of the marketplace between home builders and their subcontractors.

Monica Caruso

This is supposed to be a democratic union and it's become communist.

Dwayne Roloson

I feel the valuation applied to that business (Western Union) has been severely depressed by being part of the whole First Data. I think the remaining businesses will be a significantly less attractive investment.

Craig Maurer

The possibility of big surpluses at Olympic time, I think, are not that probable. So why would these union leaders then give up their possibility of putting significant pressure on the government at the time of the Olympics?

John Fryer

Let the Union Cabinet speak with one voice over the issue and then we will react. There are major differences between Congress leaders and Cabinet ministers over the issue.

Amar Singh

Nothing has really changed. Moscow is an hour ahead of us, so under the Soviet Union we would watch the TV broadcast and listen to the ringing of the Kremlin's bells - the New Year in Russia doesn't begin until the Kremlin rings its bells. Then we would wait an hour and have our own celebration in Belarus. Everybody still celebrates like they did then.

Nina Lahvinovich

With the disappearance of the Ebony Student Association, the Black Student Union was a necessity.

Bryant Johnson

Who could plan an attack on secretaries, on engineers, on bank tellers, credit union tellers, and, yes, even babies? ... You now know. You have spoken. Terry Nichols could plan such an attack.

Pat Ryan

The union talks a tough game, but I don't think they're going to let anyone walk out. Everybody is in the same lifeboat. They're not going to start to fence with each other in a rubber lifeboat.

Sean Mcalinden

Or similar union for any purpose.

Mike Cox

Today we begin to build a global union in very specific terms. In a global economy with global employers it seems rather obvious that we need global unions.

Andrew Stern

I prefer league to union but have no regrets about my time in Wales. Unfortunately Cardiff were rebuilding and we did not have any real success but I played more than 20 times for Wales in some of the finest stadiums in the world.

Iestyn Harris

These are all individual settlements so the union doesn't have to vote on anything to approve it. It's a fair settlement ... absolutely, and it resolves a number of concerns raised by the officers and the city.

Alex Garcia

Given what happened to the Central Coast, it's hard to support the current system, but since the last census 3.6 million people have been added. And to turn over the most diverse state in the union to a panel of retired judges, which is a very undiverse group ... I'd support an independent commission, or an independent commission with legislative review, or some other kind of hybrid.

John Laird

Transportation Workers Union (TWU) officials are not only holding New York City and its economy hostage to their self-serving demands, but they are potentially jeopardizing the jobs of New York City's 30,000 mass transit workers.

Stefan Gleason

This region has several benefits. You can get extensive funding from the European Union, the German government and state authorities.

David Hogg

Fighting corruption and keeping the mob out of our union and their hands out of our pension funds.

Ken Hall

They just wanted the union to go away. But we're here to stay.

Steve Sarnoff

If the United States and European Union countries respect the people of Belarus, they should respect their choice. The Republic of Belarus retains the right to take retaliatory measures.

Andrei Popov

Certainly, the data collection needs to be examined. This is absolutely a pro-union effort, supported by union leaders and members of Congress and state legislatures with ties to unions.

Kelly Hobbs

If producers are thinking about planting corn rootworm-resistant corn, they will first want to make sure their buyer is willing to buy that corn. You wouldn't want to plant corn rootworm corn without checking with them because it doesn't so much matter what the European Union wants, what really matters is what your buyer wants.

Corinne Alexander

As union membership for nurses unions grows, so does our ability to speak out.

Cheryl Johnson

It's hard to practice not turning the ball over. If we turn the ball over against Virginia Union, they're going to make us pay.

Parker Laketa

It is a little bit worse than last year. Cesar Chavez is going to be a challenge in league, and obviously Union is again too. We have some tough games left in this tournament.

Don Chandler

At the innermost core of all loneliness is a deep and powerful yearning for union with one's lost self.

Brendan Francis

With the president's upcoming State of the Union address on Jan. 31, the economy will come under fresh scrutiny, so it is essential to separate the facts from the media spin.

Dan Gainor

Each of us must do our part to improve the health of the institute. We (the union) worked hard and did our part.

Roberto Vega

This union benefits who it should benefit most, the client. Whether buying or selling, the tools that are now at the disposal of our trained professionals will translate into the highest quality service and maximum exposure in the marketplace.

John Luke

Philip Morris does not understand why, either as a matter of law or practice, the European Commission has chosen to address this issue in a U.S. court rather than through regulatory and cooperative actions within the framework of the European Union.

David Davies

It was something that I could sense was going to happen, ... and it's a shame, because we're both good baseball people and we think a lot alike, but there never was a very good union between Bell and me.

Guy Hansen

I thought the Middle Eastern part [of President Bush's State of the Union speech] was grossly exaggerated, given the percentage they supply. It's hard to pick out one part of the world as being more unstable than another part, especially if you're projecting 20, 25 years out.

Frank Verrastro

A similar decision by the government coalition would allow the referendum process to begin immediately, under the best auspices and with the full backing of the European Union.

Christina Gallach

I'm very pleased to announce that agreement has now been reached that negotiations on Turkey's accession into the European Union can and will begin in the very near future.

Jack Straw

The reality of European resistance to Turkey's membership in the European Union is precisely what Turkey fears, that is, the entry of a poor and highly populated Muslim state, ... But the government in Ankara is determined to get full membership and nothing short of that.

Pamela Falk

We are even ready to continue talks with the European Union let alone Russia and China for finding a formula acceptable for all involved sides, we are not after adventurism but after an agreement.

Javad Vaeidi

When he was chairman, the credit union experienced some of its most extensive growth. We grew one year over 20 percent and the next year over 12 percent. He always took the organization in a way that was constructive for the members, constructive for the employees and positive for growth.

Kirk Kordeleski

Part of what a union provides is what I would call checks and balances.

Robin Lash

There were contract employees...that were in the call center giving out code numbers [to their friends and family] to go to their local Western Union to pick up money. [These people] were really not Katrina victims.

Devorah Goldburg

That's a nuance that is left, really, to the bargaining table. We told the union that despite the fact that we're going to continue operating the plant, we are very interested, always have been, in reaching a new agreement.

Alan Mccoy

I look at 34th Street in New York, State Street, and San Francisco actually - Union Square - that's the fashion I'm interested in.

Andy Hilfiger

Marathon negotiations along with implicit threats produced a result, ... allowing the first Muslim nation to begin a ten to fifteen year process for full membership in the European Union.

Pamela Falk

This is a great location. We are right on (U.S.) 15-501 and (N.C.) 24- 27, just where the road to Union Pines High School cuts off. It is easier to find, easier to get to, easier to park.

Paul Hoffman

It would be hard pressed to say that the State of the Union is as crucial as it is often said it is.

John Samples

I have twice unsuccessfully sought help from Paul Castellano to put down union activities, these actions I regret deeply.

Frank Perdue

The ballot result indicates the level of dissatisfaction the staff have with the board. Instead of uniting the organization after the recent departure of the chairman and chief executive they have chosen confrontation with the union over pay.

Gerry Morrissey

China expresses regret at this. China is studying the consultation requests from the European Union and the United States seriously.

Chong Quan

We're playing so much better. We should have beat Keystone the other day. And we beat (Union County) with a ninth-grade pitcher.

Al Pound

The reality is that by eliminating GEAR UP in his budget, the President directly contradicts many of his objectives laid out in his State of the Union speech. The irony is that the GEAR UP program is one of the best vehicles for accomplishing what he claims to want to do.

Hector Garza

We are not afraid and there is no cause for concerns. We enjoy the support of the European Union, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the United State's Senate and administration.

Mikheil Saakashvili

International expansion continues to be a front-burner strategy for the company and these latest developments represent our commitment to that plan. We have experienced long-term success in the United States by executing on our business model, and we are pleased to see similar business goals now being achieved in the European Union.

Mike Pugh

Those with retiree health benefits should ask their former employer or union for advice.

Patricia Richards

A CAT pass is not, and will not, be an option because the school bus drivers are union members. The unions run the schools, and this will not change.

Greg Forbes

He brought the hotel up from a young age, ... Family always brought him back to the Union.

Jim Boyd

Obviously I'm putting out information that's not very flattering. The average person today, including the average union member, doesn't have any idea how unions operate and what the realities are. Everybody knows what unions are good at, but not what they're bad at.

Richard Berman

[The NHL is expected to present a revised hard-cap submission to the union within the next 10 days. It will be summarily rejected, no matter the] compromises ... Just send it by e-mail so we don't have to waste any more of our time traveling to see it.

Trevor Linden

I think our preference is to have as direct a relationship as possible with our associates. We think that works best for our business and we try to run our business in a way that causes no real desire to have a union.

Bill Wertz

The thing that hung us up was we could not provide documented proof. Their (Union Pacific) perspective was it really wasn't that serious of an issue.

Raylene Ireland

Lying comes very easy to these people. The owners and league lie all the time to further their agenda. What that is, it appears pretty obvious to me at this point, is to break the union and start all over again with entirely new players.

Bobby Holik

This was a tactic to ruin Roger before the eyes of the public. But Roger stood up to the union and said, 'What you did to me is wrong,' and the jury has vindicated him.

Charles Cochran

We were out of business in the largest state in the union for about a year.

Colby Sambrotto

If the Soviet Union can give up the Brezhnev Doctrine for the Sinatra Doctrine, the United States can give up the James Monroe Doctrine for the Marilyn Monroe Doctrine: Let's all go to bed wearing the perfume we like best.

Carlos Fuentes

[The Transport and General Union (T&G) launched the employment tribunal case on behalf of about 5,000 workers.] Workers and their families should not have been kept waiting, ... This proves that workers must become priority creditors, and administrators should consult with unions before laying anyone off.

Adrian Ross

The biggest thing we found is that Student Union needs to work to partner with the students. Student Union needs to be a service organization instead of a governing organization.

Stephen Bishop

The union was aware of the changing business environment even prior to negotiations.

Monty Vest

Without the power of the Industrial Union behind it, Democracy can only enter the State as the victim enters the gullet of the Serpent.

James Connolly

The union has to be made aware of the consequences of their actions. If they didn't strike, Bear Stearns wouldn't have needed to hire a charter bus in order to get their employees to work. Academy Bus wouldn't have had to subcontract it to AME.

Christopher Mcgrath

When I was 13 I was diagnosed with malignant brain cancer. I spent 13 weeks in the hospital getting treatment, and my parents had to mortgage the house to pay for it. I spent Christmas in the hospital. When I got out my father had bought me my first Lionel train set, a model Union Pacific line.

Delbert Teille

It does not affect your daily life very much if your neighbor marries a box turtle. But that does not mean it is right. Now you must raise your children up in a world where that union of man and box turtle is on the same legal footing as man and wife.

John Cornyn

We believe we have an excellent benefits package for our union employees that reflects the value we place on their many contributions to the university. These include dental, life insurance, and pension benefits and a range of health plan options. One of those plans fully covers the employee's health insurance premium, a benefit few employers provide these days.

Alan Acosta

About the capitalist states, it doesn't depend on you whether we (Soviet Union) exist. If you don't like us, don't accept our invitations, and don't invite us to come to see you. Whether you like it our not, history is on our side. We will bury you.

Nikita Khrushchev

While this is important historical information, the major political parties have not made much of it. None of the key players are around anymore. The Soviet Union has gone.

Mahesh Rangarajan

But Europe has changed, fundamentally, since the early '90s. Now the countries to which these languages are broadcast are members of the EU (European Union), or are likely to join soon.

Nigel Chapman

The thing you notice about Arlington is that they score a lot of points. They are a much improved team from last year, so for us to see the increased speed (at the Tulsa Union scrimmage) Friday night, that's going to help us tremendously in preparing for the game.

Barry Lunney

Most of the time people leave to follow leaders. Coldwell Banker became too corporate. Pacific Union became too corporate. A lot of agents go into real estate because they can be independent contractors and they are trying to get away from the corporate feel.

Sue Smith

In the absence of even mentioning tax reform in his State of the Union address, it may be presumptuous to assume a revenue-neutral AMT fix after 2007.

Brian M. Riedl

There's a great deal of concern among auto suppliers about whether they can remain profitable or survive with union contracts. If Delphi's willing to force renegotiation through a bankruptcy filing, I suspect other suppliers would do the same.

Jim Gillette

I do not think that the Chinese Communist Party is going to implode and collapse like it did in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. This Communist Party is going to fight to stay in power, and it will use the military to stay there.

David Shambaugh

Part of this was my personal umbrage that the zoning ordinance was being ignored. [Secondly] I think Union City has had the opportunity of a lifetime in the last few years to redevelop in a constructive way, and I think we have squandered that opportunity.

Larry Price

We need to be a little more like a (player's) union.

Jonas Bjorkman

The contract we agreed upon was not that different from the one that we've proposed all along. It's unfortunate we had to come to this point. There has been a lot of posturing by union officials.

Cassandra Phelps

Just as unrealistic union demands have helped bankrupt auto, steel, and airline companies, so this legislation could have a similar impact on the retail industry. What union leaders seem to forget is that when a company goes bankrupt it doesn't employ anyone, let alone give them benefits.

Richard Berman

Strikes are always a possibility. But we are not a strike-happy union. I look at strikes as a failure.

John Wilhelm

You have no right . . . to ask a worker whether he or she belongs to the trade union movement or which trade union. That is a person's fundamental right . . . and it is a United Nations basic and fundamental human right. No employer has any right to ask a worker about it.

Sir Roy Trotman

It's a fundamental difference. The United States cares more about the impact of a merger on customers. The European Union seems to be focusing more on the concerns of competitors. This is a very interesting precedent set by the EU today.

Michael Regan

Who has information to come forward and [contact] the union.

David Leblanc

The Republican abuse of power comes at great cost to our country, and we can see it in the present state of our union. Special interests and the well-connected have grown stronger, while our national security, our economy, our health care and our government have grown weaker.

Nevada Democrat

Of course, the kind of support that Cuba could give us was very limited when it came to building up our army, since they didn't manufacture armaments in the quantities that we required. So we turned to Algeria and the Soviet Union for support.

Daniel Ortega

Who's got the power? We've got the power. Union power.

Alan R. Mulally

It doesn't pass the straight-face test. He [DeMarco] should have resigned as union president and stepped down from the panel as soon as as he was elected ... I believe he lost fights for the members to make it easier for himself as sheriff.

Vito Dagnello

It is obvious that the European Union would never countenance funding a regime that continued an armed fight against Israel. But we cannot push for democracy and then deny the result of free and fair elections.

Ignasi Guardans

It's not the record we wanted. It's not the way we wanted to write history. We wanted to be the first (Union) team to win a playoff series.

Kris Mayotte

This is the Coast's only national sporting team and it will be for a hell of a long time. Union and league have missed the boat and the people have connected with the Mariners.

Lyall Gorman

Women need to have a voice in government to be able to achieve the perfect union that the framers had talked about. If you don't have something, you're more likely to fight for it. If you have it, you take it for granted.

Iris Nelson

This imprisonment is shameful for a country like Poland, which has just joined the European Union and which is the sole member state to impose prison sentences on journalists for offences of opinion.

Reporters Without Borders

I think they are afraid of their union.

Chuck Grassley

They're very athletic. They pressure the ball well, and they don't let you get a second shot. We had a real tough time running the offense all the way. [Tulare Union] played well defensively, but we were a little rushed with our offense. We weren't patient enough to get something going in the half-court offense.

Roger Hildreth

The proposal as presented to the (union) today is both unfair and unacceptable and does not represent a starting point for negotiations. This may be legal, but is morally wrong. This change alone has the effect of reducing existing pension pots by 13,300 pounds ($23,000) on average.

Brendan Gold

The MTA is quite concerned that we are now down to the last day before the union-imposed deadline.

Gary Dellaverson

I told him that at the Hall of Fame ceremonies. That's an alternative he has, and I think he should use it. Integrity of the game — where does that put the players union? I think it would be the right thing to do at this point.

Jim Bunning

What we did here was based on relationships and commitments by Ford to its workforce and the long-term relationship with our union and the importance they place on us.

Buzz Hargrove

What we have on the table is a proposal and the union board will debate, discuss and vote on it within the next few weeks.

Gregg Overman

Mr Blair has made history and no one's more pleased than me that we've got a Labour prime minister in for a third term. No-one's more pleased than me. We put our money, and our people and our efforts, where our mouth is. We've done that as a whole trade union movement not just the T&G.

Tony Woodley

It has to do with some of the scare tactics being used by members of the American Postal Workers Union locally in Sioux City. They should know better. In fact, they do know better.

Richard Watkins

Union Square II will continue with the Class A and prestigious quality provided in Union Square I because we believe the market for this caliber structure is desired. Many of our current tenants are needing expansion space, and we are very pleased to be able to offer a top-quality building that will accommodate their needs.

Andrew Lewis

It's like there was the Union, and then there's the Union Management. In some of the strikes that I covered when I saw the strike starting to break, wasn't necessarily when Management was giving in, more so than when the strikers were at odds with the Union Management.

Richard Grimes

I will meet with a union member and nursing management every month to talk about concerns, in a collegial environment. I want to communicate with them and need their input.

Wayne Fairchild

We are very excited about offering Union titles to DISH Network Pay-Per-View customers, which allows us to make great action sports films accessible to millions of fans across the country. Now, kids who may not previously had access to surf, snow or skate flicks, can watch the latest titles and the best athletes in the world with the click of one button.

Rob Colby

This just happens to be a fresh attempt to bring in some of the icons of the young and the apolitical and to get them into the whole debate on joining the economic and monetary union.

Nigel Farage

I've spent the last year listening to Americans, and the state of the union that George W. Bush lives in is very different from the state that most hardworking Americans are living in.

Joseph Lieberman

We're out of the union; we're a captive nation of war, ... embassy.

Richard Mclaren

Every rest area, historical mile marker and tourist trap between a grocery store parking lot in Mount Union and a hog farm in the alleged center of the United States.

Jeff Daniels

They were picketing a union plant.

Gene Mancini Jr

What a great story to inspire our children of today. Not only can you be a resident of Union City and go on to win a Nobel Prize, but you shouldn't be defeated by the failing of a subject.

Kathie Pontus

This is probably as bad as it gets for a union leader. He's in a fight with no allies.

Gary Chaison

I do not believe the Union will disolve, I believe it will become all one thing, or all the other.

Abraham Lincoln

The so-called splinter faction in the union that is going a different direction has been drummed up by a lot of media members and people hoping a deal gets done. I can unequivocally say everyone is on board and understands the issues better.

Chris Pronger

Banks are concerned that there's a new breed of credit union evolving that's not the credit union of old. As long as it's fair competition and public policy hasn't skewed the marketplace, bankers are happy to compete with anyone.

Charlotte Birch

As a result Oracle discovered both the Independent Institute and the National Taxpayer's Union were misrepresenting themselves as independent advocacy groups when in fact they were funded by Microsoft for the express purpose to influence public opinion in favor of Microsoft in the antitrust trial.

Jennifer Glass

A book is one of the most patient of all man's inventions. Centuries mean nothing to a well-made book. It awaits its destined reader, come when he may, with eager hand and seeing eye. Then occurs one of the great examples of union, that of a man with.

Lawrence Clark Powell

Instead of a State of the Union address, the president kicked off his re-election campaign. His speech was long on rhetoric and short on resources.

Rahm Emanuel

Lemoore is going to let us know exactly where we are in Division 2. I have to problem with playing Union in the final. It will be a tough challenge, and something Tulare fans would like to see, but playing Lemoore will let us know where we are, and what we need to work on.

Don Chandler

Evidence already existed that President Bush lied about our reasons for invading Iraq when he delivered his January, 2003, State of the Union speech. The Downing Street memo confirmed that intelligence was 'fixed' to support the war.

Rae Vogeler

We take labor for granted. Look at the people, the firemen, police and medical workers who are working around the clock in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. Many of them are union members and they are showing what we do for our fellow man.

Jim Casey

We believe that like Union Station in Washington, D.C., this will become a very significant tourist attraction. We'll have reasons for people to be there day and evening for 365 days of the year.

Cheron Taylor

I've coached several great lines at Nevada Union and Placer. If this group reaches it's potential it could be one of the best lines I've coached. I haven't had a line like this with size, strength mixed with athletic ability. Usually any line has a weak link. This line doesn't.

Joey Montoya

If (the union) continues to insist on short working time, there will be more privatization.

Hartmut Moellring

Let there be no doubt: the state of our union is strong - stronger than the terrorists who seek to harm us and stronger than the challenges that confront us. At the same time, we know that our union can be stronger still.

Tom Daschle

Generally, special elections have low voter turn-out, which means get-out-the-vote efforts can make all the difference. The election is going to hinge on if Schwarzenegger, the Republicans and other supporters of the union dues measure can mount an effective ground war.

Jack Pitney

This continues to be about busting our union.

Jim Young

That's logical because there is no connection, ... They're paid by the hour, not by performance. It's a (union-) negotiated wage.

John Wanous

It's pretty hard to say anything positive about it from a union perspective. I assume the leadership anticipates a strong negative vote.

Lowell Peterson

These jobs do provide a good middle class standard of living and the Teamsters union is going to protect that.

Chip Roth

Union solidarity is at a breaking point. It's either going to go one way or the other -- and AMFA is right in the middle of it.

Dennis Sutton

The Sacred Union of Jesus and Mary Magdalene was the cornerstone of the earliest Christian communities.

Margaret Starbird

That means there's hope. Gene Upshaw made a commitment to the union that he's not backing down, and we support him 100 percent. The owners must finally realize if they don't come back to the table, the ramifications are potentially catastrophic.

David Canter

He didn't tackle the big issues which are critical to the union movement, such as rights at work. It was the usual Brown speech and that is why he got a flat reception.

Tony Woodley

Sikorsky and the union did have initial contact with each other to explore what opportunities there are to resume negotiations. We'll need some further evaluation of that contact today to see if an opportunity presents itself to get back to the table.

Bud Grebey

I don't think Bud wants a major confrontation. On other hand he wants major changes, and that's going to lead to a major confrontation, ... The union is very well run. They win all the legal fights and baseball has to fold. There isn't much history that says the owners have a very good chance.

Fay Vincent

It was a moment on the national stage for Pataki. And he can say that when an out-of-control, liberal union tried to shut down New York, he took a firm line.

Nelson Warfield

I assure you the Teamsters Union will be a strong force in electing the next president of the United States.

James R. Hoffa (jimmy)

The union insists that drivers who are fatigued have a right to book off. And the company has a policy: If a driver says he or she is fatigued, then Greyhound doesn't use them. You can't have it any other way.

Bruce Hamilton

These problems in Union County have been going on for years.

John Eldridge

I acknowledge that India often has strikes but the strike has calmed down and the environment for talks with the union is almost ready.

Takeo Fukui

We offered to let her be a non-speaking member of UNME (teachers union) just so she could attend, but the district didn't think that was legal.

Susan Huffman

Your union has been planning for all contingencies while trying to remain realistic about a very difficult business environment.

John Malone

When we look at core safety net programs -- housing, health care, education -- that impact low-income individuals, the state of the union is not only strong, but in this area the programs are effective and working.

Tara Wall

There is a choice. There is no excuse for giving up on Britain. We are surrendering to the European Union our ability to run our own affairs.

William Hague

The European Union upholds the values on which it was founded. Freedom of expression is one of those values, but this must be within the boundaries of respect for the religious beliefs and cultural sensitivities of others.

Josep Borrell

All of these union bosses are terrified that the governor's reforms are going to take power and influence out of Sacramento and give it back to the people of California, ... The debate over the special election is a simple one — vote yes on the governor's reforms if you want real change, vote no if you are happy with the way things are.

Todd Harris

Some (EU member) states ... are getting reserved (when it comes to) enlargement. I hope these countries will understand that delaying our entry will not solve the problems of the union.

Georgi Parvanov

It is important that we speak with one voice on this issue in the European Union, uphold our common values but also make an effort toward de-escalation.

Heinz Fischer

The best part was being able to watch Pennywise and Rancid every day, and to have lunch with the bass player for Blessed Union of Souls. Everybody eats together; they don't treat anybody like a headliner or an opener. Everybody is just there to play. It's a great community.

Adam Krier

The union asked the mediator to book out, so that puts them back into a strike position.

David Sanderson

We are pleased to have concluded the basis and substance of a deal with Gate Gourmet. The key to unlocking this dispute now lies firmly in the hands of Gate Gourmet and the Transport and General Workers' Union (TGWU). They must sort out their differences for the good of our customers and the employees of Gate Gourmet.

Mike Street

[He said union leaders may have also seen the prospect of a strike as attractive because of approaching elections for union representatives and shop stewards.] The more you protest and show that you are sticking up for the rights of employees, ... the better you will fare in the election.

Guy Groux

The proposals weren't, in any way, a disrespect to the union. The board really did feel like they were making a fair offer.

Stephanie Jones

Last night (Friday), a lot of us came out on the strip in front of the union and talked about it. We talked about how we weren't going to let it affect the year.

Larry Bender

Based on the assessment of Germany and European Union observers, elections in the autonomous Palestinian areas were basically held in a free and fair manner.

Ulrich Wilhelm

Our union will continue to do its job of standing for American working families.

Ron Carey

We're disappointed obviously. I think this goes to what we've been saying all along that this is the end result of executives' poor planning. Their plan is more focused on union busting than running an airline.

Bob Krabbe

This is only a quick fix, and what I hope is this will send a message to the province (that) it took a students' union to step in and get this young man into residence.

Scott Thomas

Unions will never recover their historic 35 percent workforce. They may creep back up a little bit in some of these areas, because some employers are sophisticated enough to work alongside the union and utilize them as an ombudsman they don't have to pay for.

Fred Carstensen

As a disciplined African head of state, I will follow the decisions of the Economic Community of West African States and the African Union on how to resolve the Ivorian conflict.

Abdoulaye Wade

We do expect a fair day's work for a fair day's pay. It's imperative that the local union cooperate with us to get rid of work practices that keep us from running our machines at their full capacity and realizing their full potential.

Mary Irby

The percentages are low, no question, ... The work is leaving the workers. This outsourcing is a problem for union and non-union workers. Labor's never had it easy but we're ready to fight for workers' rights.

Jack Shea

I'm really concerned that comments made in the boardroom, in public, have worked to undermine the relationship between the board and the union.

Colin Butler

It was my worst fear that we would lose. Although this is not the biggest union, it's not a good bellwether.

Donald Van Every

Love is not a union merely between two creatures, it is a union between two spirits.

Frederick W. Robertson

They want to fine the union into bankruptcy and put our leaders in jail.

Steve Stallone

Many companies go to great means to try to intimidate or advise their workers against supporting the union.

Kent Wong

The one kid just about killed us. Union has six just like him, and we play them Saturday, so it's not like we haven't been working on holding runners in practice. We worked on it a good hour yesterday and still couldn't throw him out.

Hank Banner

This is not a union that is struggling. People see we are standing up for what they want and they want to join.
