This is a list of slogans used by organized labor, or by workers who are attempting to organize. ==Glossary of labour slogans== * The slogan "An injury to one..." has a long history in the union movement. Initially attributed to the Knights of Labor, the expression took the form "an injury to one is the concern of all." At the suggestion of David C. Coates, the Industrial Workers of the World at their founding convention in 1905 adopted a variation of the expression, rendered as "an injury to one is an injury to all."〔The Autobiography of Big Bill Haywood, 1929, pp. 186 ppbk.〕 * Boring from within is a crude translation of a French syndicalist expression, ''la pénétration'', (literally, ''penetration'') which, according to Paul Brissenden, was initially recommended to the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) by William Z. Foster, as a preferred alternative to ''dual unionism'' with regard to the AFL. The IWW ignored the recommendation in 1911, and rejected the tactic as impossible in 1914.〔Paul Frederick Brissenden, ''The I.W.W. A Study of American Syndicalism, Columbia University,'' 1919, pages 297-303〕 Foster, who had become a member of the IWW in 1909, left that organization and joined the newly formed Communist Party in the early 1920s. * The boss needs you, you don't need him is an expression from the Industrial Workers of the World, who envisioned "a world without bosses." * Bosses beware — when we're screwed, we multiply * Bread and Roses is an expression, the name of a poem, a song title, and a movie, derived from a picket sign carried by a woman striker in 1911 in Lawrence, Massachusetts, during what came to be called the Bread and Roses strike. The message on the homemade sign was, "We Want Bread, and Roses Too."〔Solidarity Forever, An Oral History of the IWW, Stewart Bird, Dan Georgakas, Deborah Shaffer, 1985, pp. 57.〕 The slogan calls for dignified working conditions as well as fair wages. * Direct action gets the goods * Don't mourn, organize! This expression is the familiar version of the "last words spoken" by Wobbly song-writer Joe Hill before his execution on a murder charge in Utah. In truth, the expression is part of a telegram sent to Bill Haywood, in which Joe wrote, "Goodbye, Bill, I die like a true blue rebel. Don't waste any time mourning. Organize!" It wasn't Joe's last telegram; he sent another in which he implored Haywood, "Could you arrange to have my body hauled to the state line to be buried? I don't want to be found dead in Utah."〔Roughneck: The Life and Times of Big Bill Haywood, Peter Carlson, 1983, pp. 235.〕 * Dual unionism is the development of a union parallel to an existing labor union. The parallel dual union may exist for different tactical, philosophical, or strategic reasons. * Dump the Bosses Off your Backs! * A fair day's wage for a fair day's work The motto of the American Federation of Labor.〔A Pictorial History of American Labor, William Cahn, 1972, page 139.〕 * Get it through industrial organization〔Melvyn Dubofsky, We Shall Be All, A History of the Industrial Workers of the World, University of Illinois Press Abridged, 2000, page 89〕 (Wobbly slogan) * Hammering from without According to Paul Brissenden, this expression is the Americanized version of the French syndicalist term ''la pression extérieure'', or ''external pressure'', which was seen by some as an alternative to ''boring from within''〔Paul Frederick Brissenden, The I.W.W. A Study of American Syndicalism, Columbia University, 1919, page 297〕 * Instead of the conservative motto, "A fair day's wage for a fair day's work," we must inscribe on our banner the revolutionary watchword, "Abolition of the wage system."〔A Pictorial History of American Labor, William Cahn, 1972, page 203.〕 Response of the Industrial Workers of the World to the AFL motto, from the IWW Preamble. * Kickin' ass for the working class... * Labor is entitled to all it creates * The longer the picket line, the shorter the strike * Look for the Union Label is the slogan of a multimillion dollar advertising campaign launched in 1975 by the Union of Needletrades, Industrial and Textile Employees (UNITE,) urging consumers to purchase union-made clothing. * No Gods, No Masters was a slogan first used during the 1912 Lawrence Textile Strike. It was since adopted by early 20th century feminists and later anarchists and members of the Occupy Movement. * The only force that can break tyrannical rule is the one big union of all the workers〔Melvyn Dubofsky, We Shall Be All, A History of the Industrial Workers of the World, University of Illinois Press Abridged, 2000, page 90〕 (Wobbly slogan) * Organize the workers to control the use of their labor power〔Melvyn Dubofsky, We Shall Be All, A History of the Industrial Workers of the World, University of Illinois Press Abridged, 2000, page 89-90〕 (Wobbly slogan) * Right to work (for less) * Sit Down and Watch Your Pay Go Up! * Solidarity forever! is the refrain from a song of the same name written by Ralph Chaplin. * The secret of power is organization〔 (Wobbly slogan) * Unions: the people who brought you weekends * A victory for one is a victory for all * Which side are you on? From the song of the same name by Florence Reece, written during the 1931 strike by coal miners in Harlan County, Kentucky. * Workers of the world, awaken! * Workers of the world, Unite! * Workingmen, Unite! * 8 hours for work, 8 hours for sleep, 8 hours for what we will was a popular slogan beginning in the 1880s during organized labor's push for the 8-hour workday. Its exact origin is unclear, but its first recorded use was probably during a Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Union rally in Milwaukee on May 1, 1886. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of labor slogans」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
