Who gets the risks? The risks are given to the consumer, the unsuspecting consumer and the poor work force. And who gets the benefits? The benefits are only for the corporations, for the money makers.

We learned many years ago that the rich may have money, but the poor have time.

As long as we have a poor country bordering California, it's going to be very difficult to win strikes.

There is no substitute for hard work, 23 or 24 hours a day. And there is no substitute for patience and acceptance.

When poor people get involved in a long conflict, such as a strike or a civil rights drive, and the pressure increases each day, there is a deep need for spiritual advice. Without it, we see families crumble, leadership weaken, and hard workers grow tired.

From the depth of need and despair, people can work together, can organize themselves to solve their own problems and fill their own needs with dignity and strength.
