Today’s labor quote

Today’s labor quote is by textile worker and union organizer Norma Rae, played by Sally Field in the 1979 film, from the scene where the textile mill bosses try to fire her:

“I’m staying put! Right where I am! It’s gonna take you, and the police department, and the fire department, and the National Guard to get me outta here! I’m waitin’ for the sheriff to come and take me home! And I ain’t gonna budge till he gets here!”
