About this Quote

Richard Attenborough's quote talks to the value of both trade unionism and democracy. Trade unionism is a form of collective bargaining in which employees collaborate to work out much better earnings, working conditions, and other advantages. Democracy is a type of government in which the people have the power to make choices about their lives and their society. By combining these 2 principles, Attenborough is promoting for a system in which employees have the power to make decisions about their working conditions and salaries through collective bargaining. This type of system would guarantee that employees have a say in their working conditions which their voices are heard. Attenborough's quote is a tip that employees must deserve to negotiate for better incomes and working conditions, and that democracy is necessary for this to take place.
