The Indefeasible Rights Of Labor

THE INDEFEASIBLE RIGHTS OF LABOR

By Ex-Speaker GALUSHA A.GROW

LABOR, whether of brain or muscle, has two indefeasible rights, both entitled to full, absolute protection under any form of government.

ONE IS TO CONTRACT FOR EMPLOYMENT ON SUCH TERMS AS MAY BE SATISFACTORY, THE OTHER TO REFUSE ALL EMPLOYMENT, PROVIDED NO APPLICATION IS MADE ON THE COMMUNITY FOR PERSONAL SUPPORT.

Every person self supporting and law abiding has a right to work or not to work. This is an individual right, which the laws of a free government are bound to protect. BUT NO PERSON HAS A RIGHT TO PREVENT ANOTHER PERSON WHO DESIRES TO WORK FROM DOING SO. EVERY PERSON HAS THE RIGHT TO WORK WITHOUT MOLESTATION.
