"Labor is prior to and independent of capital.
Capital is only the fruit of labor and could not have existed
had not labor first existed.
Labor is the superior of capital and deserves much the higher consideration."

-Abraham Lincoln

WE ARE ALL DOING THE SAME WORK.

THE PRICE OF MATERIAL IS THE SAME FOR EVERYONE.

THE CONTRACTORS' BIDS ARE THE SAME,
WE GET SOME THEY GET SOME.

THE DIFFERENCE IS THE UNION CONTRACTORS PAY THEIR WORKERS A LIVING WAGE, HEALTH CARE AND A PENSION.

WHERE DO THE PROFITS OF THE NON-UNION CONTRACTORS GO?

What is a scab? He is to his trade what a traitor is to his country..He first sells the journeymen, and is himself afterwards sold in his turn by the masters, till at last he is despised by both and deserted by all. - 1792 document, cited in The Early English Trade Unions: Documents from the Home Office Papers in the Public Record Office.
