The Union is not for yourself but for your children. It does not arise to avenge the past but to claim the future... It is an expression not of the dignity of its leaders but the dignity of all. It is not called into being to celebrate the majesty of one person... It is not property but mission... Anyone can belong to a union but a union belongs to no one... The union leader is not the owner of an institution; he/she is the caretaker of a tradition. - Murray Kempton, Author and Labor Activist, 1917-1997
