Protest song "The Tide" from the movement to enact a Global Labor Treaty...to protect unions and end slave labor. Click on my channel to listen and sign petition to the U.N.
I am a USW member and was at the Constitution Convention in Las Vegas when this was played. If this video doesnt stir you, nothing will, all 2600 delegates at the convention were on their eet when it was over. I'm union and damn proud of it.
The lumpen-proletariat has been rioting and startin fires for over a decade now, and now the middle class wants to co-opt the fight and put the fires out.
In Germany the Unionized workers enjoy 5 weeks of vacation, more holidays, free health care, free dental, free college or university education, and a pension plan that is 70% of the average wages of the last 3 years of employment.
And what do you, the American worker get? A large jar of Vaseline if you ever get a chance to retire!
*sigh* if only all businesses' workers could pull together like the USW. The more skilled you are, the closer to "paid too much, therefore expendable" you become.
I am a retired public school teacher, daughter of a steelworker who insisted we only "Buy American, Union-made goods". This video needs to be seen by many. We need to stand strong against the attacks on the heard working teachers, fire fighters, & police. Some governors (OH, WI, ME, FL, NJ, IN etc) who have made it clear they will break our unions and put us out of work, unless we will work for almost nothing. if we don't stand together, they will succeed by taking us down one by one.
@MiserableOldFart We could demand that democrats in jurisdictions where they have majorities ,ban corporation money in their elections. This would lower the costs of elections, eliminate lying campaign adds and it would make republicans almost unelectable. If we get attack adds to furnish rebuttal adds then democrats would never have to pay for another campaign add.Labor and the liberals need to smarten up . We need job actions and progress , we also need a new candidate for president.
But I disagree about the president. In '12 we are going to have to hold our noses and support Obama and try to elect a Congress that will light a fire under his butt.
I am a proud union member but this video is not just about unions. This is about hard working men and women who are getting pounded down by large corporations trying to control the government.
@Steelworkers The only way you are going to stop this steal is to ban corp. money in our elections. This should never have come about in the first place ,even the unions could have negotiated terms in corp. contracts that would have gave share holders a vote on campaign contributions. un_electable. All attack campaign adds to furnish rebuttal adds,it is not a fair election if attack adds are run and not rebutted because the opposition can not get enough money.Democrats need to get busy . Man up
@Steelworkers Well said union brother....god damn its good to read comments from people like you & a video like this, I am a local president (different union) and there are days when I feel I am fighting a losing battle, so many against us, media, government the list goes on..but reading the comments here from union brothers & sisters, and seeing a strong video like this..puts a bit of fire back in the blood!! Great words, great comment.
@Wilsonskippy A huge, historic---& "permanent"--- sit-in---like Liberation Sq., in Egypt--- will start, in Washington, D.C., in Oct., determined to reverse ALL the crap which gov't'/big business has been putting on ordinary Americans since the '80s. Two months lead in time is needed because it will be so big & determined. To keep informed of developments, follow @goharrison on Twitter, &/or listen to the Go Harrison radio show, which I believe can be found on line, if you search "go harrison"

@TheENTERRAPTURE17 That's pretty strong weed your smoking. Better take heed and start thinking ,superstition will get you nothing but a republican stab in your back.Put down the weed ,the beer and superstition and wake up and do your part.
Everyone needs to join this fight - and one thing that unions could do to help straighten out the financial system would be to assist in identifying which financial companies want to operate under the rules of the Criminal Code. The CEOs who have convinced the police that the brokerage industry is "self-regulating" have created an untrustworthy investment culture. If any Steelworker is willing to canvass financial institutions to determine which ones want serious regulation, please reply.
If you really want to help go to change.org and sign my petition to give share holders a vote on campaign contributions.No corporate money in elections equals less republicans in office and less resistance to labor.Republicans are trying with all their resources to over throw your republic and you are either going to fight or surrender. Surrender means a South Africa type life style in America.
@hanksnow82 your outta your mind. china killed the steel business with there cheap poorly done steel. for both canada and america. put the blame where it belongs. overseas. we have lost most of our manufacturing here in this country because its all gone over seas. china, india, soviet union. to many north american jobs have gone there for little labor costs. sometimes just 5$ a day in wages for a worker. or less. that is you corporate big buisiness for you.
@wraithband0s China is not to blame, where did you hear that crap. We are to blame because we let our right wing nut leaders sign all these trade agreements that brought this on our shores. There was not and never will be any reason to have these trade agreements. The congress and senate have sold us out and we need to go after them ,just like Syria and Libya. So get ready to answer the call.There is not 0ne friend of ours in DC.So lets do something now.
@hanksnow82 You are completely wrong and ignorant of all that was done to save steel in Canada. I was there. If not for the USW some plants in Canada would have been down the tubes in the 1990s. Greed killed the steel industry and manufacturing in Canada and now those that buy from China are getting an inferior product.
@Steelworkers First we agree the steel from china is garbage . Over 35 % of all chinese tool steel is sub standard . Which means the first time you hit the vice you bought at princess auto it will break . Communisim has never produced good steel,
@ccraigd89 Communism is not an economic model,and there have been several versions of it tried through history . I was in China 8 months a go and it was very communist .
@hanksnow82 What about it, what they've implemented is not communism. at best it's state run capitalism. Socialism is supposed to be the transition between capitalism and communism, Communism is a stateless society self manged by the working class.
@ccraigd89 The Chinese think they are a communist nation and every country in the world considers China a communist nation but you don't . I think calling you a goof was giving you to much credit .
@ccraigd89 Maybe not . but they are not our friends either. The wise men and framers of our constitution advised us that buying from your neighbors was the best policy and that separation of church was the best policy for our republic, so that means no republicans allowed.
@SocietyH1Local You can say that but we never see you at rallies or protests. You need to get involved and it will cost money to go to war and that is where you are headed. so stop supporting the enemy and start thinking about who your friends are.For the most part they are not in DC.
Great video. My husband is an electrician with IBEW, but all unions are in this fight together. And not just unions, but workers of all professions must stand united against the corporations who want to turn the world economies into economies built on slave labor.
I use this video to get pumped every morning to kick ass for the working class!
