Up The Union Lyrics

"Those who would destroy or further limit the rights of organized labor -
Those who would cripple collective bargaining or prevent organization
of the unorganized - do a disservice to the cause of democracy." -J.F.K

Well it's starting again, a turnaround friend
A movement of people that want to defend
Human rights, a fair wage,
A quick return to decent days,
Equality is in play,
Workers should organize without haste,
Have the vote in your workplace,
Work with your manager face to face

Lookout, its starting again,
The change a new labor age
Support, the EFCA,
Lets go and start it again

Here is a shot, at the Walmart,
Pay your workers or have you forgot
Fair treatment, decency
Or your dedication to corporate greed
All your gains, low low price
At the expense of human rights
Still knocking your door with labor might
Picket at every Walmart site

Lookout, its starting again,
The change a new labor age
Support, the EFCA,
Lets go and start it again

Up the union, sing with the band
E-F-C-A Employee Free Choice Act
Up the union

Lookout, its starting again,
The change a new labor age
Support, the EFCA,
Lets go and start it again

CEOs get their perks,
With legal protection they go to work
So what about the workers and their hard work,
Who stands up for their net worth
The pay up top is way too high
While those in the middle barely get by
EFCA is higher pay vote for it today
