Quote by John L. Lewis
Workers have kept faith in American institutions. Most of the conflicts, which have occurred have been when labor's right to live has been challenged and denied.
Summary
This quote suggests that workers in America have generally believed in and trusted the country's institutions. However, conflicts between labor and other entities have primarily arisen when workers' basic rights, such as the right to a decent living, have been undermined and suppressed. It implies that workers are generally supportive of the American system as long as their fundamental needs and rights are respected.
