“Most labor historians today agree that craft unions created an aristocracy of skilled workers at the expense of the unskilled and semiskilled and, at the same time, retarded the further organization of American industry, thus, in the long run, adversely affecting all workers, skilled as well as unskilled.”
Philip S. Foner, Organized Labor and the Black Worker 1619-1973

“The opposition of white workers to the continued competition of slave labor was an important factor in ending slavery in the North.”
Philip S. Foner, Organized Labor and the Black Worker 1619-1973
