Be like the French

The U.S. Labor Movement … “Workers of the world awaken. Break your chains. Demand your rights. All the wealth you make is taken, by exploiting parasites. Shall you kneel in deep submission from your cradle to your grave? Is the height of your ambition to be a good and willing slave?” Joe Hill Workers of the world, 1910 “When silence isn’t golden. It is we who plowed the prairies, built the cities where They trade, dug the mines and built the work shops; endless miles of railroad land. Now we stand outcast and starving, midst the wonders we have made; but the union makes us strong.” Ralph Chaplin Solidarity Forever, 1915 “The Revolution will not be televised. when you get too old to produce anymore, they hand you your hat and they show you the door. Too old to work, too old to work, when you’re too old to work and you’re too young to die. Who will take care of you, how will you get by when you’re too old to work and you’re too young to die?” Joe Glazer Too Old To Work, 1956 These are some of the things the young workers of the U.S. and the world are starting to understand. That no one is going to take care of them and this is why the need for a union is now and solidarity of the workers to make this happen. So, the best of luck in this fight for your labor rights. When you get your union, then help others with their fight. And all workers vote smart, vote for what is good for your selves and your union. The fat cats aren’t going to give you good pay, health care, or a pension without a union. They haven’t so far and they won’t until you show them who has the real power. Take a look the French workers. The greedy want to raise the retirement age to 64 and the workers have taken to the streets, fighting for themselves and the workers who come behind them. The greedy in this country want to raise the retirement age to 70 years old. How many workers are willing to fight like the French? Be like the French!
