  • My mother sang this while she was in labor with me. How fucking awesome is that?

  • 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

  • Happy Labor Day. all.

  • Unions wil be obselete the day every worker has a Colt AR15 and it's open season on bosses,

  • Old Crow playing Woody, damn doesnt get much better for me

  • @fatherzach ... it's a great rendition of a really great song

  • UNIONS HAVE BEEN DEMONIZED BY POLITICIANS BUT IF WE DON'T HAVE THEM THE BOSSES WILL EXPLOIT ENYONE!

  • @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

  • workers unite!

  • Solidarity with Wisconsin from a worker in Arkansas!

  • 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.

  • Comment removed

  • Well done! Now if the unions would get off their asses and help people organize again.

  • KILL THE BILL, KILL THE BILL. WALKER IS A DICKtator

  • its too bad all the unions care about is their pockets these days.. they would sell every hard fought victory for a pay raise..

  • I love the music and the photo-vdeo.

  • @bbuteo ... thanks I worked overtime on it & got (union) time & a half for it !!!

  • Union Yes! LIUNA member.

  • If you ever get the chance, read the autobiography of Mother Mary Jones.

  • So far my favorite version of this song

  • good video. one of my favorite songs.

  • Great photos and a great song! I have been teaching my kids this song after hearing it on NPR one afternoon.

  • @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 !!

  • @AuntieTrust  Outside of Wisconsin.

  • 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.

  • @LibertadorMG may I correct you by saying that in the past unions use to be private sector more so.Now we have communist government unions.

  • Great song! Powerful clips too. Good work.
