[MegaBeerwolf]

I'm Pro-Union but there was time back in the 80s for just a few short months, if my old man wasn't a Scab, our family would not have eaten. The unemployment checks ran out and we were hunting rabbits on or rented property to make stew and chow-mein. Luckily he got a good gig at a shop where he didn't have to be a "scab" or on public assistance. I love you guys and Unions (brought us the weekend) but my old man had to feed his family. The assholes that shipped jobs off overseas are to blame.

[OldSkoolThrasher666]

great song...awesome pics...nothing changes down the decades...the rich get richer and the people get screwed

[DefTheMarxist]

I don't like this version, Bragg's is better, can't beat the original though.

[BlackJaguar1100]

this is is just a shit stolen cover version of a billy bragg song "Which Side Are You On"

[ddmagnan]

@BlackJaguar1100 This song is a remake of the song about the Harlan County coal miners in 1931 Kentucky. Check wikipedia.

[BlackJaguar1100]

@ddmagnan "Check wikipedia" how about fuck off... there should be a game show for the worlds thickist people if u have to go on wiki... why because i can just go on wiki and make up crap on any subject that i dont know of... how about i refer u back to last post "billy bragg song "Which Side Are You On" dont think u can fuck with British history again... u got a problem talk to "billy bragg".

[ddmagnan]

@BlackJaguar1100 Florence Reece wrote the song in 1931 in support of the coal miners striking in Harlan County, Kentucky. Long before Billy Bragg did his cover of it. I mentioned Wikipedia because it is a common resource that people use. For a more reliable reference see the book American Folk Song Book written in 1968 by Alan Lomax, the New York Times article written on Aug 6th, 1986 about the songwriter's death

[ddmagnan]

@BlackJaguar1100 ...or the Academy Award-winning documentary film, "Harlan County, USA" about the second strike in Harlan County in 1973 where she sang the song to rally the strikers.

[BlackJaguar1100]

@ddmagnan Thats better... intresting i may just look into this considering the better source's of information... for the record i only use wiki in desperate times (subjects that have'nt been documented) or info i allready know... thank u for extending my knowledge even tho it's american

[ddmagnan]

@BlackJaguar1100 It is ok brother. I figure it doesn't really matter who started what. Union songs are shared by all.

[BlackJaguar1100]

@ddmagnan well i supose inspiration has to come from somewhere eventually some one will make something & change it to whatevers happening around them.

You Communists better be VERY careful what you wish for, you might get a btutal, Communist dictatorship shoved up your collectivist asses.

[punkcommunisto117]

@cmdrflake You idiots should be verrrrrrrrrry careful as well, one of these days your ignorance and stupidity will put you in a place you would rather not be..

[DocMurphyish]

@cmdrflake I dunno. I might prefer being ruled by a communist dictatorship to being ruled by bankers and their bought lackeys in our supposedly freely-elected governments. Maybe not.

But if the middle ground between the two could start moving to making it a little easier for hard-working people to actually pay the bills and enjoy life a bit as well, I'm quite sure I'd appreciate that.

[theredraven]

@proletarcccp And have you noticed how better off we are then places that did have revolutions?

[tvcrunkfool]

@theredraven the usa was founded on a revolution are you fucking stupid

[theredraven]

@tvcrunkfool Not the same sort as what occurred in Russia, China, Cuba, France etc.

Much more orderly.

[lutheriens]

@theredraven

Hey Dude, just for your information, France was never a communist country.

[theredraven]

@lutheriens Had a chaotic, violent revolution that replaced one tyranny with another though didn't it?

[punkcommunisto117]

@theredraven You can Always tell if one's an American on the internet rather than anyone from any other country, because the Americans who post stupid shit on here never know what the HELL they're talking about! YOU are a perfect example! :D

Please, oh knowledgable one, Tell me, what the REAL Definition of Communism and/or Socialism are. From The words of Marx and Engels, aka the "Creators of Socialism" (Even though the world has seen Communism, but ONLY ONCE. You know what? Tell me this only

[theredraven]

@punkcommunisto117 An economic and political system where the means of production are controlled by the workers and class no longer exists.

I'm from the United Kingdom by the way. I'm a perfect example of someone showing you up for making stupid assumptions.

[punkcommunisto117]

@theredraven Ahem... It appears you DO know the Basic idea of what it is lol... None the less, I did mention this is true for AMERICAN patriots.. If you were to come and live in the States for a year (Especially one of the more Conservative and segregated states) you would know EXACTLY what I mean... I'm not saying Americans themselves, but the zealot, American Patriot..

Anyways you did prove me wrong, I give you that.

[punkcommunisto117]

@theredraven Tell me of this one and only Communist state of life the world has seen as well. and DON'T tell me the bullshit little propoganda Cold War era U.S. Movies were spewed out either..)

[punkcommunisto117]

@theredraven Orderly aye... You forget to mention the seemingly neverending civil wars the U.S. has always had. Not to mention its hatred to the native inhabitants (regardless of wether they were 'orderly' or not, they still caused much hate and turmoil throughout the American Population)

[punkcommunisto117]

@theredraven No actually, I've noticed all nations and empires without (or with the suppression of their people) a revolution or reform have either turned out to be quite immoral, totalitarian nations..Economically fragile and weak nations..Unprogressive, patriotic nations, etc...

[Tiyrful]

@Eadhmonn i think that looses credibility when the guy signing the bill is making 5x more than the teachers in his own state who, lets be honest, have an infinitely more important job. everyone has the right to a fair wage and to make a living.

[zerodan1]

My union is just as greedy and corupt as the company. They're in bed with the same politicians,my contract is about 70% federal or state law, the other 30% of the contract is about as strong as the paper it's written on. When my union "brother" got hurt, and could no longer work,or pay dues,they through him under the bus,and said good luck w/that. I went to Madison back in March,what started off as labor protests, turned into a protest for all kind of "great" causes.

[OhmsLaw76]

That sounds more like internal politics. Just sayin, no offense intended.

[TheAmazingMorse]

@zerodan1 I don't know about you, but I vote for my union leaders. It's just like any other democracy, if you are to lazy to take care of your business, corruption will set in. But in a union environment, you have the power to address injustice. You have to stick up for your fellow worker, your brother/sister. No government or union will do everything for you. Good luck, my brother.

i am a vet and a teamster, son of an ibew president. you all dont get it. we need unions in the mines and factories and the docks. we dont need it in the school house and at the dmv.

[dankru]

@TheBlogmocracy Unions are a democratic right of ALL workers. It doesn't matter who you work for, if the workers want them then that is their right.

[daltonultra]

@TheBlogmocracy How about in burning buildings and firefights? How about in fields where men work to clean up spilled toxic and explosive chemicals? Do you have any clue how many dangerous, difficult and highly-skilled professions are represented by public unions? My father cleans up chemical spills for a living. He's been exposed to more toxic chemicals and hazardous conditions than any plant worker in the USA, and now Kasich is trying to set things up so he can strip his health benefits.(cont)

[daltonultra]

@daltonultra You anti-union people don't get that the republicans are NOT trying to balance budgets. They are NOT trying to "level the playing field between the private and public sector". They are trying to strip funding from the Democrats by crippling the unions that contribute to their campaigns. And public unions are only the start. If the union-buster bills stand, they WILL move on to attack private-sector unions next. Stand by the workers NOW, or YOUR rights will be stripped later.

[pedonbio]

@TheBlogmocracy So you don't want to leave that up to the workers? Freaking jerk!

Walker's administration rewards campaign backer's son: Brian Deschane- no college degree, little management experience, two drunken-driving convictions. $81,500-per-year job in Gov. Scott Walker’s administration overseeing environmental and regulatory matters and overseeing about 70 state workers who are ACTUALLY QUALIFIED for their jobs. Competent people and the environment at the mercy of this guy. Word got out, and the guy fell on his sword. Still think the workers don't need protection?

[MultiGeekmaster]

what people fail to see is that wisconsin made it so they can only unionize for WAGES ONLY. that means work conditions can be super dangerour or the hours outlandishly long. as a kentuckian, i know the conditions of miners. if they hadn't unionized in the 30's 40's 60's and 70's, they'd all be working for crap living in houses with no electricity or water. many still don't have those ammenitites

[ccpper]

How come all you union dicks have to go back 60 or more years to show bad working conditions why not show an auto worker with their finger stuck in their as, or maybe an air traffic controller sleeping on the job

[AMagicalUsername]

@ccpper screw you fascist

[edbygully]

@ccpper You are so stupid it hurts, my Bro worked as a traffic controller, and I know the issues. Idiot like you Fuck guys like us that deserved to be treated with a bit of dignity and respect. Obviously you have never held a position of responsibility. It's not always sunny skys, there flights go out and come in side by side and tell me that wouldn't where you down mentally. Lots of 12 & 14 hour days so with a shift change, what do you expect from a guy that got 4 hours rest between his shifts

[densign1223]

Unions don't make companies go belly up. Unions negotiate there contracts with companies. If they can't afford it they shall not agree to it. Simply bad management.

[rhsherrin]

Unions are not what are founding fathers fought for and would be against them today as they provide artificial rights to a group of people that are part of the union. This is unconstitutional as rights are not given to groups of people but individuals. As long as we have unions we will continue to bankrupt companies and states. Look at how GM went bankrupt.

[A0P0E0A]

@rhsherrin "...they provide artificial rights to a group of people..." I know that isn't your whole quote but I couldn't help but think of a corporation when I read that.

[agnosticnixie]

@A0P0E0A We even give corporations artificial life!

[mdsatan]

The teachers unions have been blocking paths to a proper education for ages now. Any idea of the hoops you have to jump trough to fire a incompetent teacher? But the rest of the working force seriously need to unite in unions and start demanding the respect and dignity they deserve!

[hstarr78]

@mdsatan you must've been educated by one of them because you're clearly an idiot.

[hstarr78]

@mdsatan you must've been educated by one of them because you're clearly an idiot. blame your stupidity on the teachers--typical.

[mdsatan]

@hstarr78 Fallacy: You attack the person and not the point, I also see a strawman, I never blamed anyone for any supposed stupidity. Spotting fallacy's is something taught to me by a good teacher, she is extremely dedicated to her job and very good at it. She is however no more certain of her job then loads of mediocre teachers and the few exceptionally bad ones. Teacher unions block all notion of teacher quality control as to not punish the bad ones, and so they block rewarding good teachers.

UAW in the house! I will just start off with saying that they may take away the Union which should tell you that America is heading for its grave. But eventually when big bosses start ordering and taking advantage again the Union will be back mark my words, even though it shouldn't leave they have minimized us down so much so we don't have the big numbers we use too. But stand together and unite.
