Alliance@IBM/CWA Local 1701 - The Union for IBM Employees: "If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand.
It never did and never will. . ....-- Fredrick Douglass --"

IBM Europe employees are striking in protest of layoffs, which normally wouldn't be in my politics blog, but hell if that isn't a good quote.
