Today’s Labor Quote: Ella Reeve "Mother" Bloor

​“It is not enough to say that something good, something beautiful is being born. We must help it become a reality - not a dream.”

Bloor was born on this date in 1862 in Staten Island, NY. Her activities included investigating child labor in glass factories and mines, and working undercover in meat packing plants to verify the nightmarish working conditions that author Upton Sinclair had revealed in "The Jungle."
