Happy Labor Day!

Solidarity forever!

Solidarity forever!

Solidarity forever!

For the union makes us strong

When the union’s inspiration through the workers’ blood shall run,

There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun.

Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one?

But the union makes us strong.

Solidarity forever!

Solidarity forever!

Solidarity forever!

For the union makes us strong

They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn,

But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn.

We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn

That the Union makes us strong.

Solidarity forever!

Solidarity forever!

Solidarity forever!

For the union makes us strong

In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold;

Greater than the might of armies, magnified a thousand-fold.

We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old

For the Union makes us strong.

Solidarity forever!

Solidarity forever!

Solidarity forever!

For the union makes us strong

Sing it loud.  And if that doesn’t get you a little verklempt, look for the Union Label below the fold.

Look for the union label

When you are buying a coat, dress or blouse.

Remember somewhere our union’s sewing

our wages going to feed the kids and run the house,

We work hard but who’s complaining.

Thanks to the I.L.G. we’re paying our way.

So, always look for the union label,

it says we’re able

to make it in the U.S.A.
