The Garment Jungle (1957)

Robert Ellenstein: Fred Kenner

Quotes 

• Walter Mitchell : What do you mean join the union? What kind of talk is that from a partner?

  Fred Kenner : If we ran a union shop, we would never...

  Walter Mitchell : We would go broke making this dress. Look at these all these operations. Look! Look at these operations. We've got to get it made for less. Cut the workers.

  Fred Kenner : We could make enough for profit and give the workers a living wage if you didn't give hoodlums a percentage out of every dress to keep the union out. And I don't care who hears it.

  Walter Mitchell : You take care of your end of the business, I'll take care of mine. You're a designer. Design! Take this down to the cutting room. Leave running the firm to me

  Fred Kenner : I left it and you let hoodlums in. Well, I'm kicking 'em out. We can run a union shop.

  Walter Mitchell : I'll never let that lousy union into my place. Never!

  Fred Kenner : This is my shop too. I'm a full partner!

  Walter Mitchell : I'll pay the workers how much I want, not how much I'll make you pay.
