Today’s Labor Quote: Harry Lundeberg

​“These flinky gazoonies who call themselves city fathers have been taking lessons from Hitler and Stalin. They don’t believe in the Unions that are free to strike."

Lundeberg, speaking to an overflowing crowd of picketers during the Oakland General Strike (see History, below) was Secretary Treasurer of the Sailor's Union of the Pacific and one of the leaders in the historic 1934 San Francisco General Strike. photo: Lundeberg (with raised fist) during a 1938 strike.
