ABSTRACT

When David Dubinsky was posthumously inducted into labor’s Hall of Fame in 1994, the sponsors of the event, the Washington-based Friends of Labor, produced a video for the occasion. In one scene, Dubinsky is addressing a convention of the union, extolling the virtues of innovation and experimentation. Excited by his own words and the response of the delegates, his voice rose to a roar as he shouted: We “do not live by bread [pause] and butter alone.”
