This has the makings of classic conflict, ... The American view is to lean towards independence; the European Union will say, 'Let's figure out a way not to make that decision'; and the Russians on the opposite side saying, 'Over my dead body.' .

Ivo Daalder

The decision to join or not join a service union, political party or other organization should be left up to the individual. No such organization has the right to take money out of the pockets of state workers without their proper consent.

Matt Blunt

This week is a true test for us against Berne Union and Millersport. It will tell us how well we've transitioned into this season or not.

Kelly Morgan

The last strike lasted 40 days (in 1998), so this union is not afraid of a long strike. They will stand up for what they believe.

Bob Bedard

The United States joins the African Union in condemning the overthrow of the government of Mauritania. And we oppose any attempts by rogue elements to change governments through extraconstitutional or violent means.

Tom Casey

We realized the community needed to be educated on what a credit union is and what the benefits of membership are. We are now doing that with increased participation in community events and a branding campaign.

David Adcock

This is the biggest give-back in Transport Union history, we cannot allow it to happen.

John Mooney

If you belong to a credit union or any associations, check to see if they have any sort of guaranteed life insurance for which you may be eligible. You may be able to get some minimal insurance to provide for your heirs without having to undergo medical underwriting.

Deb Outlaw

The EU took many years to establish such an economic union. This is a proposal from Japan to East Asia to take the first step toward an economic community.

Takeshi Fujimoto

Approval process of the Customs Union Additional Protocol in the Turkish parliament is totally under the discretion of Turkey. Necessary steps will be taken when time comes.

Ali Babacan

Especially the United States and the European Union.

Ibrahim Rugova

We will be meeting the Union urban development minister on the matter and also Congress president Sonia Gandhi.

Satbir Singh

Our union has said it's not going to bring us a concessionary contract, and I'm standing firm on that. We're not out here to lose money. You start losing money and where're you going to be? As far as hard line, yes, I am a hard line on that.

Marcus Baker

Here's what President Bush said in his State of the Union address two months ago: 'This economy is strong and growing stronger. Productivity is high and jobs are on the rise.' Last month he said it again.

Ted Kennedy

This is a classic trade-union stance.

Norman Solomon

The teachers union worked diligently during the last 21 months to secure a contract that will take care of the community, students and staff and make sure everything is equitable for everyone.

Jackie Young

Although it is difficult at this moment to speak about the motives behind today's incident, I cannot help but think that it is directed against Croatia's efforts to join the European Union.

Ivo Sanader

Right now, as the president of the union, I'm looking to moving to DaimlerChrysler.

Buzz Hargrove

Sentinel has always provided superior software and technology solutions that support the strategic and operational challenges of our customers. The union of Creative and Sentinel creates a company with architectural vision and a proven ability to successfully address complex mobile computing challenges.

Matt Lombardi

The temptation to overwhelm them with unjustified employment law, just to placate the trade union movement, must be resisted.

John Cridland

It is important for the world to understand that the European Union and China are able to solve the problem in a constructive, positive way.

Jose Manuel Barroso

The first call scheduled to be reviewed, ... is the decision to approve the name 'Poinsettia Bowl Presented by San Diego County Credit Union.'

Reggie Hayes

If you look at the natural dispositions of the economies, a union does not make sense. Their economy has an agricultural basis and ours relies a great deal on tourism.

Milo Djukanovic

Many New Yorkers, rightly or wrongly, feel that the union's case is not as strong as it might be because they don't have very good pensions themselves. It's not something like the safety issue or the conductor issue or the token clerk issue, where the union has significant common ground with the transit riding public.

Robert Snyder

If you have more money to do things, that's certainly encouraging. The whole process between the owners and union seemed like a puzzle inside an enigma inside a riddle. There's a lot of money out there and a deal needed to be made, and I'm glad they made it. The uncertainties were greater than the agreement.

Harry Henderson

Both parties have a genuine desire to resolve their differences. They have agreed to resume negotiations while the [Transit Workers Union] takes steps to return its membership.

Richard Curreri

They were acting as an extra set of eyes and ears in the area of King Street, ... A couple of weeks ago, the union came to me with their concerns and as a result I've decided to discontinue that.

James Walters

The important role of union organizations must be admitted: their object is the representation of the various categories of workers, their lawful collaboration in the economic advance of society, and the development of the sense of their responsibility for the realization of the common good.[source].

Pope Paul Vi

I'm pretty confident that they'll be fighting the European Union as well.

Jason Brueschke

Go talk to the cops you know and see what they say, ... If the union is speaking for them and it's not what they believe, I'm sure they'll let you know.

Joseph Brown

I recently came across this credit union: http://www.wrdcu.org that is affiliated with your organization. They claim to have higher interest rates than any other federal credit union. We are seeing more targeted attacks that profile a specific group with tailored scams designed to inflict great harm.

James Brooks

The State of the Union address obviously provides him the chance to get the attention of the American public. But it is not going to undo the structural problem he faces. You have a situation in Iraq that is not going to get better in the short term. ... I see him not having a really big change in popularity.

John Geer

In a democracy, all leaders should be accountable. How can union leaders be held accountable if they won't even hold elections? It is imperative that union members be made aware that their purported 'leaders' actively preclude employees' voices from being heard.

Richard Berman

We hope Iran can coordinate with the international community so as to resume negotiations through diplomatic means. All parties should keep patience and do all they can to restore the negotiations between Iran and the three European Union countries.

Kong Quan

Rather than trying to get a deal, one of their lead negotiators is running the union leader off the road.

Gil Mcgowan

But since the last quarter of the year, we are witnessing a marked deterioration, with both parties, both rebels and the government, involved in outright breaches of the ceasefire agreement, including attacks against the African Union itself and attacks against internally displaced persons.

Suliman Baldo

It's definitely going to be competitive. Lane was somewhat of an icon, and even he had to campaign pretty hard in his last race. It's been trending Republican as small and medium-sized towns lose their industrial base and lose the labor union vote.

Wayne Steger

Union County seems pretty even to me this year. We all do things a different way, but there seems to be a lot of balance. For the first time since I've been here, I feel like Sun Valley can put themselves in that group.

Scott Stein

Open Solutions is growing rapidly just like Idaho Central Credit Union. The company is very progressive, everyone we met is an open thinker, and we like partnering with firms that share our passions for growth and excellence. We have some of the same challenges, issues and opportunities, and it makes for interesting dialogue when we get together.

Kent Oram

In Cleveland there is legislation moving forward to ban people from wearing pants that fit too low. However, there is lots of opposition from the plumber' union.

Conan O'brien

The Philippine government cannot solve this political problem on their own. What's needed is hard pressure from the European Union and our countries.

Risto Vahanen

The shift has been toward the former Soviet Union to Asian countries. We're seeing a lot in China now that we didn't see in the past cycle.

Jason Goulden

We encourage the union to express their concerns at monthly labor-management meetings. They can always go the warden on a daily basis.

Dee Dee Short

There is a leap from sounding each other out to coalition talks. In doing that, it must be clear that the (Christian Democratic) Union has the right to propose the chancellor and will nominate Angela Merkel.

Roland Koch

The most happy marriage I can imagine to myself would be the union of a deaf man to a blind woman.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Today we presented to (pilots union) ALPA the pilot cost savings proposals that we believe are necessary to help address the severe financial challenge that the company and its people are facing.

Chris Kelly

I rescued Katie, a black Labrador retriever from West Union, Ohio and at about the same time my husband had a bundle of fur he named Bear show up at his apartment door. Bear is part Labrador.

Loni R. Burchett

[The Voice — which is a union shop — has an internal culture that's famously feisty and fractious. When the company recently announced it was cutting writers' pay, senior editor Robert Christgau wrote a letter posted on a popular media Web site vowing,] We at the Voice are not taking this lying down. ... Many believe this is an attempt by management to render the paper more salable.

Robert Christgau

We're the dominant union in the petrochemical industry, and we're not at all saying, 'Put them out of business.' We're saying we want to keep a strong economy within America's control. We're saying, 'If China runs around and buys up most of the world's resources, what will we do? If the world starts demanding hybrids and Japan dominates that market, what will we do?'

Leo Gerard

It secured Kentucky firmly for the Union for the rest of the war.

Chris Kolakowski

It's not that often you see a contract settle without concessions in this day and age. (At the last Central Labor Council meeting) someone reported that a union took a wage freeze but kept their health insurance. Today that's a win.

Dave Altman

I think it will be a close one. It depends on who comes out to vote. I think it'll have a lot of support from the organizations in this building (Student Union) because it will allow this to be a student union.

Sga President Basheer Benhalim

That's just a fact - that union members have higher wages and better benefits, and collective bargaining works for the workers.

Bernie Horn

We have a good working relationship with the union leaders recognized by the government.

Juan Rebolledo

As long as there are places in the state where poverty falls unevenly, we are still trying to build a perfect union, ... One day, there will not be a curtain between the Black Belt and the non-Black Belt.

Artur Davis

John Audino already was the all-time winningest coach here at Union.

Gary Reynolds

Coughlin's in a tough position if he claimed (the money) was for secret union activity -- which may be illegal. That's a tough defense: 'I didn't do anything wrong because I was trying to do something nefarious on behalf of the company,' .

Peter Henning

You can't say that the leftist Union has a majority to govern. We are neck and neck in the Senate, and it's a great result.

Andrea Ronchi

YANKEE, n. In Europe, an American. In the Northern States of our Union, a New Englander. In the Southern States the word is unknown. (See DAMNYANK.)

Ambrose Bierce

The union leaders have thumbed their noses at management and the public. The airline has suffered enough, and it is time that the pilots suffer along with us.

Dee Kelly

With the addition of these new clients, Mercury will be in use at 369 credit unions. Credit union after credit union has found that because of the familiar appearance and navigation, member service representatives become immediately comfortable and efficient, which streamlines training and delivers improved member service.

Santo Cannone

I think they ought to move to South Carolina, some place where you can sell that stuff, ... Union bashing has never worked in California.

Bill Carrick

If the German people lay down their weapons, the Soviets, according to the agreement between Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin, would occupy all of East and Southeast Europe along with the greater part of the Reich. An iron curtain would fall over this enormous territory controlled by the Soviet Union, behind which nations would be slaughtered.

Joseph Goebbels

It just seemed so odd that someone in a city that had both Union and Confederate soldiers — including a recipient of the Union Medal of Honor — would claim to be involved in the Lincoln assassination. What would be the motive for claiming that? To get yourself killed?

Diane Kamp

If the African Union is to have a strong voice it has to foster constructive criticism, not bury it.

Reed Brody

I don't think there will be a lot of public support for these strikes because they are seen as highly-paid industrial workers. If the union had a long strike, they will move perhaps even more production offshore.

Henry Morris

Nobody wants to kill this golden goose. I don't like the salary-cap system. There's nothing I like about it except that it's a system that both sides have been able to agree upon. But that has meant that football's been able to concentrate its energies and efforts at the union and management level on developing new revenue sources and promoting the brand with the general public.

Leigh Steinberg

So far the protectionists have won in the European Union.

James Peterson

We presented the union members with an improved offer on Thursday that we believe is a very good offer.

Bill Plunkett

One thing that makes art different from life is that in art things have a shape... it allows us to fix our emotions on events at the moment they occur, it permits a union of heart and mind and tongue and tear.

Marilyn French

The union leadership broke the law and we will not reward those who break the law and put their interest before the public interest. We will not allow the union leadership to benefit from illegal acts. The governor was clear, the TWU has broken the law and they will suffer the consequences.

Joanna Rose

(If) Turkey continues not to implement (EU rules and regulations) ... its path towards the European Union will end.

George Lillikas

Union members, for example, are overwhelmingly covered by health insurance - and non-union members overwhelmingly are struggling to get health insurance. That's just one of the many benefits that is affected. It's just a fact of life.

Bernie Horn

It would be entirely unfair to the other airlines in the European Union to continue in this fashion because they are respecting the rules.

Jacques Barrot

The views of the European Union are fully reflected in this text, particularly the key objective of the EU, namely vigorously to address the disarmament of Iraq and to do so within the framework of the UN Security Council.

Javier Solana

It is an absolute disgrace that this could happen in this country. Anti-union laws are a green light for greed, a charter for these cowboy capitalists, a licence for bullying and they should go.

Tony Woodley

Bullish overview in the Economic Survey helped market sentiments. Investors are expecting that some of the reform measures outlined in the Survey may be implemented in the Union Budget.

Deepak Jasani

We've had very cooperative relationship with PMA up until six years ago. There has been an amazing boom in trade between the West Coast and Asia and it was accomplished with relative labor peace, with both employer and union prospering.

Steve Stallone

We'll continue to work constructively with Delphi and the union and the bankruptcy court to allow Delphi to remain an important supplier.

Jerry Dubrowski

They should actively participate in the affairs of the international trade union movement and in the formulation of international rules based on independence, equality, mutual respect and non-interference in each other's affairs.

Wang Zhaoguo

And my goal in life is to give to the world what I was lucky to receive: the ecstasy of divine union through my music and my dance.

Michael Jackson

We're still getting better. Our defense was the difference tonight. Coach told us that Union County has some real tough teams, so we knew we had to be ready.

Brandon Hall

To say what would be here and what would be in El Paso, Texas, and Juarez, Mexico, would be subject to the management team and the union. But would I like to see that Eagle line back in North Canton? Yes, I would.

Jim Repace

The largest threat to the survival of the automobile industry in the United States are the UAW [Union Auto Workers Union] contract and the legacy costs [of retired employees] on the one hand, and the management team that grew up in a rather cushy era in which they enjoyed market dominance.

Peter Morici

[Union workers] wouldn't be paid by P&O directly or even by the Arab shipping company, but by the local port association's management.

Jim Mcnamara

Now they (the Palestinians) are having elections and then we will see who will become leader after the election but whoever is leader is the person the European Union will be talking to.

Per Stig Moeller

When school children start paying union dues, that 's when I'll start representing the interests of school children.

Albert Shanker

We believe that any decision about a union should be made in a neutral environment, and we feel that card-check neutrality has been proven to have the ability to make the process fair.

Sarah Roberts

The proposal was the result of good faith negotiations between the company and the union bargaining committees.

Joe Stout

The state should not be conscripting members of the public to spy on other members of the public. That was already tried in the Soviet Union.

Jason Gratl

Throughout these negotiations, we've been hearing from employees and their union representatives that ... they would prefer that we spend available money on retirement programs, incentives and lump sum cash payments rather than offering wage increases. With this offer, we are responding to that input.

Jerry Calhoun

This union has effectively decided to shut down the ports on the West Coast.

Tom Edwards

He has a strong union background.

George Anthony

Whether they are defending the Soviet Union or bleating for Saddam Hussein, liberals are always against America. They are either traitors or idiots, and on the matter of America's self-preservation, the difference is irrelevant.

Ann Coulter

As anybody in the United States is aware, the skyrocketing costs of health care are at crisis proportions. The union has been very reluctant to pay any of that.

Richard Maloney

To get help in coercing thousands of workers into union ranks and to obtain at least $1 million in annual dues revenues, UAW officials sold out the very workers they sought to represent.

Stefan Gleason

There's an advantage to belonging to an international. One obvious thing (affecting union members) is the lack of a strike and defense fund.

David Mccall

The one thing that gives (the union) that power is that outsourcing jobs takes a lot of time, but if you make life very difficult for the manufacturer these jobs are leaving.

Richard Aboulafia

There's no question that it's not your run of the mill case. But remember that a judge had already told (union members) 'it's an illegal strike and to go back to work.' They didn't do that.

Christopher Mcgrath

We heard what the union was saying about pensions.

Charles Bickers

Unlike the United States and the former Soviet Union during the Cold War, India and Pakistan do not have the benefit of a vast ocean between them.

Madeline Albright

No worker should be imprisoned or penalized for carrying out legitimate trade union activities.

Juan Somavia

It was huge because I knew we had a target on us all year long. A lot of teams were gunning for Union. To do it back-to-back, to me, is more important sometimes than that first one. I was excited about that.

Josh Meeker

Snappers in the NFL get absolutely abused. If the snappers had a union they wouldn't play on Sundays because it's ridiculous.

Bob Casullo

The background ... makes it even more troubling that the 16 words eventually made it into the State of the Union speech, ... This was a mistake.

George Tenet

Because countries trying to join the European Union have been forced to get their fiscal policies in order, inflation is now less of a concern for investors.

Susan Wachter

I am honored that the members of this great union have placed their confidence in me. I ran a campaign that offered a simple and straightforward promise - I will fight like hell to get actors their fair share.

Alan Rosenberg

Our members may not be able to do a balance sheet, but they understand the fundamentals. They are proud of our credit union and they want the best benefits and services to continue that they've enjoyed for 56 years.

Linda Malec

We acted in accordance with European Union decisions.

Gabriel Predoi

The proposals of the European Union are how to quickly bring the peace process back on track, ... There's a limit to what people can endure and it's obvious that the Palestinian people [are] close to that limit. That's why we have created this process where we combine the call for election with the vision about the two states side by side living in peace.

Per Stig Moeller

Union jobs in auto (plants) has been one of the most importance sources of well-paid employment for African-Americans since World War II.

John Schmitt

The University Credit Union is a non-profit organization, so any investments made are going to benefit the member.

Valerie Henry

We have people who, right now, are meeting with people in the government and union officials to try to get a better understanding of how long this thing might last.

Kevin Lowery

The proper union of gin and vermouth is a great and sudden glory; it is one of the happiest marriages on earth, and one of the shortest lived.

Bernard De Voto

As per the 5th Pay Commission's recommendations, the 6th Pay Commission should have been set up in 2003 and revised pay-scales become effective from January 1, 2006, but we were told by the Union Cabinet Secretary that the government is not in a position to set up a new pay commission.

Rp Singh

Union Pacific had been downsizing its crews over the past couple of years and, unfortunately, business began to pick up.

Vincent Charles

I wonder if those people shown protesting the deployment of nuclear weapons to western Europe during the Reagan era are feeling appropriately stupid today. 'Please don't take away our precious Soviet Union! - We demand the annihilation of all life on Earth!'

Craig Bruce

We want to return our team to the glory days of the Soviet Union.

Vitaly Mutko

Quite bluntly, to an auto worker at General Motors or an airline worker facing demands for concessions, this doesn't mean a hell of a lot, ... Their concern is 'can my union deliver at the bargaining table?' I can't think of any union that would really be hurt at the bargaining table.

Gary Chaison

We have a mechanism in place to do what a union claims it can do for us.

Kyle Dippery

We weren't sure till then whether South Lake Union would be available.

Dewey Potter

We are currently engaged in collective bargaining with several of our unions, and we do not foresee a union calling for a strike.

Lisa Farbstein

There is no doubt that this government and this country are benefiting from the reforms that we brought in the 1980s, and that couldn't have been done without the co-operation of the trade union movement.

Bob Hawke

The government cannot but judge extremely severely such criticisms, which are even more unacceptable coming from someone who holds an official position in another European Union country.

Giuliano Amato

Since the dawn of time, traditional marriage-the union between one man and one woman-has been the building block of civilization, and at no point in our nation's history has that foundation been under more severe attack than now.

Jim Demint

Roger Hughes was defamed and had his privacy infringed upon. It's one thing for this union to go out and picket and leaflet his sites. That's fair, that's lawful, ... But it's quite another thing to put out there that he's a pedophile and a danger to children. That's wrong.

Charles Cochran

If (union members) were going to end up paying so much more into the retirement plan or the health insurance ... why would you want to keep the job? You can't make a living at it.

Jan Adams

We are grateful for the loyalty and confidence demonstrated by our customers, ... But we've said all along the risk of volume being diverted would increase the closer we got to contract expiration, and diversion will accelerate if there's no agreement soon. It's even more important the company and the union conclude these negotiations in a timely manner.

Scott Davis

Nevada and especially Las Vegas has a very strong tourism-based economy and the tourism industry is highly unionized in Las Vegas. As that sector of the economy continues to grow the union density has kept pace.

Kent Wong

It's a far cry to say that because it's bad for you, [a union] should participate in a structure which allows your employer to punish you for doing something that you shouldn't be doing, ... That's not my understanding of what unions do for their employees.

Gene Orza

While not commenting specifically on Mrs. Clinton, apparently there are those who want to appeal to union leaders regardless of what office they?re running for and whether they want to do what union leaders want done.

Bob Mcadam

We forget that at the height of the Cold War the United States and the Soviet Union were spending $500 billion on their nuclear arsenals.

C. Uday Bhaskar

It's a razor edge that the union is walking now.

Anthony Sabino

The best way for Wal-Mart workers to have a voice is through a union. Wal-Mart Workers of America will mobilize and empower Wal-Mart workers to change Wal-Mart into a responsible corporation.

Joe Hansen

If the Union puts conditions on the talks then they will be over very quickly and then there will be a pause until the Union has returned to its senses.

Ludwig Stiegler

In the logic of the current negotiations, market access will determine whether there will be a virtuous cycle leading to a positive result, and that depends fundamentally on the European Union.

Celso Amorim

I will not officiate over a same-sex marriage or civil union. That goes against all of God's teachings.

Jeff Powell

Theres no secret to success at Mount Union. You recruit them, you prepare them and then you go out and play. There has to be some continuity. ...I saw the rise and I saw the stability [at Mount Union]. Its going to take a while before I get [Emory & Henry] where it needs to be.

Don Montgomery

This is excellent news. We are looking forward to building on our strong relationship with the union and working together for the future.

Keith Andrews

We believe that Jerry has been attacked because of his work as a union official and we are committed to do everything we can to get him reinstated.

Doug Collins

The proposal the union offered is fair.

David Griffith

The potential danger to the continued existence of the union rests with the adjudication of these fines.

Justice Theodore Jones

Friends need not agree in everything or go always together, or have no comparable other friendships of the same intimacy. On the contrary, in friendship union is more about ideal things: and in that sense it is more ideal and less subject to trouble than marriage is.

George Santayana

In general, unions can be very powerful. But it's up to the workers to decide if that's what they want right now. I'm not saying we should definitely have a union — as a student, I'm helping to create an atmosphere where a union would be possible.

Anna Kastner

They may have a different position. We're in discussions [with the union] to try and resolve any differences....They're our partners in this policy. We're trying to not dictate the way it works, but get some agreement on it.

Harold Henderson

That's confidential information. That's one thing if the committee members want it. It would be contrary to our policy that we entered with the union. It's contrary to the collective bargaining agreement.

Pat Courtney

In my opinion the Bulgarian Football Union also has to take action because he (Riley) harmed Bulgarian football's interests as a whole.

Todor Batkov

A number of businesses called or came by to support the union after reading the articles (in the newspaper).

Bob Wood

Historically, those two business interests tend not to be aligned, so when you see the union lobbying for the same thing, it gets your attention. I think it can make for a more persuasive argument, if nothing else because it's such an unusual thing to see.

Todd Baxter

A union of government and religion tends to destroy government and degrade religion.

Hugo Black

The buyers like the rate, they like the credit union, they like the simplified process in buying a car. The dealers like it because they can give more competitive rates.

David Jacobson

I think that's reflected in the comment of the union leader who said Mr. Dingwall was worth every penny he got. So he clearly did a very good job at the mint.

John Mccallum

The UK's disease-free status for avian flu is not altered here. We've got an avian flu in quarantine. All of the birds that come in from outside of the European Union come into quarantine and we picked up the avian flu virus in the UK quarantine system.

Debby Reynolds

On the surface, they certainly made every attempt to meet the guidelines (to form a union), ... It will take a week or two to go through their petition in detail.

Mark Weinberg

The United Nations and the African Union should address the human cost of allowing impunity to flourish in Côte d'Ivoire.

Peter Takirambudde

The whole process of applying to convert from a not-for-profit credit union to a for-profit mutual savings bank appears to have been flawed. The responsibility rests clearly on the shoulders of the board of directors.

Linda Malec

No state in the country has proposed anything so obviously pro-union, and so anti-privacy, as these proposed rules.

Dean Solden

It had 1,000 years as an independent nation before the union.

Alex Salmond

Ideology in the Soviet Union is both dead, and very much alive! Dead at the level of faith; alive as an indispensable rationale of policy.

Milovan Djilas

I couldn't find any other reasons but perfect preparation of Korea Skating Union for the achievement.

Ottavio Cinquanta

He is likely to tell us about Iran's discussions with the IAEA and the European Union on the nuclear issue.

Naeem Khan

What kind of healthcare service union would stand in the way of a cancer center in New England? That strikes me as the kind of union we don't want.

Paul Levy

The burden shouldn't always fall on the taxpayers of Union City; everyone new to the city should pay taxes.

Frank Alonzo

Union power puts bread on our tables, roofs over our heads. It sends our children to college, and union power helps us retire with security.

Anna Burger

[Patricia Harris, a mother of two visiting from Union City, Calif., was happy to talk.] I shop at Wal-Mart because I get a lot more for my money here, and selection is always great. ... bring me the best prices you can. Times are too hard to get caught up in a tug of war over politics.

Patricia Harris

Now, during this critical special election season, all of us need to realize that our faculty union needs to maintain political clout – not only to further our campaign to rebuild the CSU, but also to continue the struggle for a fair and equitable contract.

John Travis

I was the youngest guy in the union. At 14! A pianist around there who became my mentor for a little while, gave me my first night club job. I was 17 or so. My father asked the club owner to watch me so I didn't get into any wrong things, ladies and drink and this and that.

Jerome Richardson

Greyhound has a terrific safety record. 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.

Bruce Hamilton

It is good to evoke what happened, and to conjure up what might, happen again. Those who come together today meet as allies within the European Union and the Atlantic Alliance. Wars are always lost and everyone loses them.

Jose Bono

GM spun off Delphi for the sole purpose of busting our union. They think this is the time to start breaking our unions and we are not going to let them.

Todd Jordan

I believe in my union 100 percent. And I believe that you're also going to see some changes in the future -- the near future -- and they're all going to be for the good.

Willie Martinez

So I told everyone that I was making a porno film, ... Because the only films they (the union people) didn't bother (to check on) were porno films because that was beneath them.

Melvin Van Peebles

Despite our agreement on Monday, we felt it was essential to add a factor that safeguarded the employees' pension scheme. This was rejected by the trade union which prevented them from endorsing or accepting the rest of the offer.

Keith Andrews

We want to bolster the rights of the works councils by allowing job alliances at company level. The people we want to weaken are the labor-union officials.

Guido Westerwelle

Brown is looking awfully weak. You can't tell cops not to enforce the law. But if [he is close to the union], he could tell them he'll go to bat for them, if they knock it off. He has either chosen not to do that, or they're not respecting it.

Kevin Hardwick

No matter who becomes chancellor, Poland and Germany will remain neighbours, strategic partners, not only within the European Union, but also world partners, and I don't believe anything could change in our relations.

Marek Belka

I have been impressed by how serious the leadership of this union and this corporation are in trying to find sufficient common ground in trying to reach a signed contract.

John Wells

He made it very clear to me and the other owners that the future of labor relations, player relations, union relations, is going to have to be decided (by today). I've never heard Paul more opinionated and more animated and more committed and passionate.

Steve Tisch

One credit union set up in the back of the manager's SUV. The husband of an employee had a gun and provided security.

Charles Elliott

We are deeply disappointed in the arbitrator's ruling on New York City Transit's expansion of one-person train operation to the L line on nights and weekends. Although the union argued that the program was unsafe, the arbitrator based the decision on an overly technical reading of a 1994 contract, not safety. We will be reviewing our options over the next few days.

Charles F. Seaton

The union, as a union, has got to recognize it's got to stop holding New York hostage.

Michael Cardozo

The whole question of relations between theaters in different countries is a very vital one, ... given the days we live in and the speed of communication. I'm a union man myself. I sympathize with protecting jobs, [but] I think it would be healthy if there was a freer flow.

Thomas Kilroy

It is outrageous that the company has never discussed alternatives with the union and simply dropped a bomb on the whole city. It is a mean-spirited terrible way to treat workers, their families and the whole community.

Wayne Fraser

The man whose whole activity is diverted to inner meditation becomes insensible to all his surroundings. If he loves, it is not to give himself, to blend in fecund union with another being, but to meditate on his love. His passions are mere appearances, being sterile. They are dissipated in futile imaginings, producing nothing external to themselves.

Emile Durkheim

This is a political and social triumph as well as a union triumph and shows that our struggle has not been in vain.

Evo Morales

Why would Mr. Reiner or any of his union friends not want to give everyday workers a voice? ... Paycheck protection is a simple concept — give workers a right to choose how their political dues are spent, and stop taking money from members without asking permission.

Eric Beach

The purpose is to give everyday workers a voice. Right now the way the unions are set up, the union leadership continues to demonstrate that they're out of touch with their own members.

Eric Beach

Proposition 75 is a workers rights issue; our teachers, police and firefighters want a choice. Union leaders are out of touch with their own members.

Eric Beach

Such an outcome could cause a misstatement of the net worth of the acquiring credit union and we very much support a targeted fix of this problem.

Emil Henry

Our relationship with the union, once the order was put in place, has been pretty good.

Elliot Krieger

The general purpose is to comprehensively discuss the State of the Union address as a sort of immediate feedback mechanism in a local setting.

Ellen Taylor

I have proposed many ideas, legislative measures to be taken by the European Union.

Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu

We are the trade union for pensioners and children, the trade union for the disabled and the sick... the trade union for the nation as a whole.

Edward Heath

We're going to march for the respect and independence of unions and we're going to march to support the miners and steelworkers union.

Eduardo Torres

We're organizing in a new way. Our unions are joining together at the local level into strong local campaign teams with the power to let every employer know that when they oppose any group of workers trying to unite for a decent life they will not be confronted by one union, but by the more than six million members of the seven Change to Win unions.

Edgar Romney

To get into the union -- that's really what attracted me, being how hard it is to get into a union these days.

Eddie Williams

These are the changes. We hope (union officials) present this proposal to their membership.

Ed Steadham

The love in our lives has been love of God, love for each other and our families, and love for credit union work. It's been good. I would do it all over again. Oh, definitely.

Earl Rancourt

We've got agreement with the union as to what we think should be going on there in the future, but before we were to move any product in there, we'd also need to talk with the government and see if they are supportive of the new investment. We're far from anything happening there.

Ed Saenz

Of course we are worried and we have to get used to the fact that avian flu is now spreading within the European Union.
