Union Season

This tune was written up by 

#322 member Joyce Stone.

When is the last time you felt so strongly about an issue that you composed a letter, made a phone call, wrote a song, posted 

about it on Facebook, sent a text... 

Remember that vocalizing your position is what breeds change.

Union  Season

Sung to the tune of the Dreidel Song

Lyrics by Joyce M. Stone

Written for the Twin Cities Labor Chorus

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have a little union

We organized ourselves

We fight for living wages

We fight our working hells

Chorus:

Oh, ”Justice, justice, justice!”

This is our loudest cry

Together we fight bosses

We organize or die

They tell us that we’re lazy

They cheat us on our pay

Those bosses drive us crazy

Our union’s here to stay

They listen to no reason

And order us about

But now it’s union season

Together we all shout

Chorus

Oh, ”Justice, justice, justice!”

This is our loudest cry

Together we fight bosses

We organize or die

Our workplace is too dirty

We cannot wash our hands

The heat is overwhelming

We need some ceiling fans

We’re fighting for more bathrooms

And for our coffee break

We need some dust collectors

Our safety is at stake

Chorus

Oh, ”Justice, justice, justice!”

This is our loudest cry

Together we fight bosses

We organize or die

They’re trying to divide us

Don’t listen what they say

We’re sisters, we are brothers

We must have equal pay

Our union’s getting bigger

Won’t shatter like it’s clay

We’re all in this together

We’re stronger every day

Chorus

Oh, ”Justice, justice, justice!”

This is our loudest cry

Together we fight bosses

We organize or die
