John J. Sweeney Quotes

«Our task is not to make societies safe for globalization, but to make the global system safe for decent societies.»
«Henry Ford was right. A prosperous economy requires that workers be able to buy the products that they produce. This is as true in a global economy as a national one.»
«In its current form, globalization cannot be sustained. Democratic societies will not support it. Authoritarian leaders will fear to impose it.»
«From the suites of Davos to the streets of Seattle, there is a growing consensus that globalization must now be reshaped to reflect values broader than simply the freedom of capital.»
«In the 'Nike Economy,' there are no standards, no borders and no rules. Clearly, the global economy isn't working for workers in China and Indonesia and Burma any more than it is for workers here in the United States.»
«A core part of the global market is what might be called the 'Nike Economy' - footloose companies that play countries against one another while seeking subcontractors with the lowest wages and cheapest conditions.»
«We can no longer allow multinationals to parade as agents of progress and democracy in the newspapers, even as they subvert it at the workplace.»
«For globalization to work for America, it must work for working people. We should measure the success of our economy by the breadth of our middle class, and the scope of opportunity offered to the poorest child to climb into that middle class.»
«American workers, ... fervently support rights to protect economic security, equal opportunity and reasonable working conditions but they see real gaps.»
«It's not these locals' fault that their national unions left the A.F.L.-C.I.O., and it's not working people's fault. They shouldn't have to bear the brunt of a decision by their leadership. Solidarity charters will allow unions to work together and let working people still benefit from a united grass-roots movement.»
