Labor Quote of the Day: William Hutcheson

“While we have every desire to assist the government in the crisis we are now passing through, we have no intention of waiving our rights to maintain for ourselves the conditions we have established.”
- Hutcheson was President of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America from 1915 to 1952, and helped lead a general strike during the first World War (see Today's Labor History)
