"Unternehmen, deren Existenz lediglich davon abhängt, ihren Beschäftigten weniger als einen zum Leben ausreichenden Lohn zu zahlen, sollen in diesem Land kein Recht mehr haben, weiter ihre Geschäfte zu betreiben. (…) Mit einem zum Leben ausreichenden Lohn meine ich mehr als das bloße Existenzminimum – ich meine Löhne, die ein anständiges Leben ermöglichen." -"
