Gee, if only AFL founder Samuel Gompers had known that the “win/ win” POV is the key to sucess, he might have been an effective

of mind reflected by comments like:
“We do want more, and when it becomes more, we shall still want
more. And we shall never cease to demand more until we have
received the results of our labor.”“It is impossible for capitalists and laborers to have common
interests.”
I only just recently learned that Gompers was a Marxist of some sort
before he left Britain for the U.S. It was in the U.S. that he
discovered that national health insurance would emasculate the
American working class.
