At the collective bargaining table, in the community, in the exercise of the rights and responsibility of citizenship, we shall responsibly serve the interest of all American people. We pledge ourselves to the more effective organization of working men and women; to the securing to them of full recognition and enjoyment of the rights to which they are justly entitled; to the achievement of ever higher standards of living and working conditions; to the attainment of security for all the people sufficient to enable workers and their families to live in dignity; to the enjoyment of the leisure which their skills make possible; and to the strengthening and extension of our way of life and the fundamental freedoms which are the basis of our democratic society. (From the preamble of the AFL-CIO Constitution)
