Quote of the Day: Richard Perry

1/8/2016

"We’ve all heard the lines: unions are outdated. Working people needed unions at one point, but not any more. Employers are decent today; they treat their people OK. And for those who don’t, the government provides protections. …Bull! …Today’s decent employers are decent because unions force them to be decent."
Perry is the former president of the AFL-CIO's Union Label Department.
