Obama is a Nigger Nazi, prove me wrong by ordering the execution of the St Lois police who stopped people withdrawing money from their accounts or I'm right.
Guess what... and he wants to piss on the 9/11 memorial
Furman Owens, 12 years old. Can't read. Doesn't know his A,B,C's. Said, "Yes I want to learn but can't when I work all the time." Been in the mills 4 years, 3 years in the Olympia Mill. Columbia, S.C.
@renact2 unions have also been exploited by the capitalist democratic party and completely soiled by the corrupt afl-cio. unions are not what the were when this song was written. sad to say they probably will never be again. workers lost their rebellious, GROUND LEVEL organization, and unfortunately now think capitalism is a great thing as long as your on the middle-class side of things. that gray old mare just ain't what she used to be. now she's but a democratic party vote-attaining machine
Maybe unions aren't perfect, but I'd rather be screwed over by my fellow citizens than by some in-the-moment gov't no one has any control over... I'm not a nationalist, I'm a patriot. You aren't my problem until you try to take something from me. I can't hate a person for wanting to continue to get paid the money they depend on.
@jal62fl ... Thanks a lot - for the comments & for teaching your kids about Unions & fighting Greed - so future kids won't be in photos like these again !!

I love unions, but damn this video is taking forver to load, is it on break or something?

@1Nation2008 .. YouTube servers aren't even big enough to handle all their compressed videos, so they break down !!
The "computer-movie" industry's "on break" from giving us enough uncompressed video power with open formats !! .. (we should form a union !!)

I'm sticking to the union...........The great American labor tradition that brought us safe working conditions and a fair wage for a days work.
