There Is Power in a Union

There is power, there is power
In a band of workingmen,
When they stand hand in hand
That’s a power, that’s a power
That must rule in every land,
One Industrial Union Grand

I worked one union job in my life. It lasted a few months before I left. Never again.

@hippyjoe1955 Not the same as the IWW. AFL-CIO is a bunch of corporate lackeys that just make money from their members. IWW is grassroots run.

@hippyjoe1955 Do you even know anything about the IWW? Do you even know who Joe Hill, Big Bill Haywood or Eugene Debs were?

Well you be a good bootlicker for your boss then

@basilfawlty89 I am my own boss. I own my own business. I couldn't stand the union and its stifling effect on all the workers and how it kept people doing jobs they clearly were not good at.
