Baer Quote 1
“The right to organize and bargain collectively is the right of all workers. This privilege ought not to be denied to capital or labor. Organized labor established the fireman’s wage standard. Then inasmuch as organized labor sets our wage standard, does it not follow, as the night follows day, that we should make our common cause with the agency which in season and out of season, unceasingly and indefatigably strives for a higher standard of living for all workers – the organized labor movement.”
Fred W. Baer, IAFF President (1919-1946)
