  • I couldn't have said it better myself Fellow Worker! All together now for the OBU!

  • A very powerful song from Bruce, his message is as important today as it was when it was written. Also, my 5's to the Director for a nice vid show................onward, Randy

  • Thanks... but who's Bruce? This was writen by Joe Hill and sung by Utah Phillips.

  • Sorry, I'm new to You Tube....Bruce"Utah"Phillips. I should not have used his name.. I have some of his early stuff on vinyl..My error.........I've just always called him Bruce..I checked years ago to see who penned the Flatt & Scruggs cover, Rock salt & Nails and it was he...I'll try to follow the format as I learn this system.. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.....Randy

  • OH, No worries man. I figured "Utah" wasn't his real name, so it's obviously me who was ignorant. I can't say I know much of his history, and only know of the albums sold through IWW.

  • The USA mate? It's gone wrong for working people all over the world. Capitalism is the disease, the IWW is the cure!

  • Where the hell did the USA go wrong... The last 20-30 years have been terrible for the rights and welfare of the working class.

  • the Middle East is our next chance after Spain

  • we stopped fighting for our rights in the 30s that is why we are backsliding to the working conditions of the 1880s

  • @dufvasven The workers have endured hell these years because Regan and Thatcher crushed them in the late 70's. But the class war is far from over and its coming back.

  • Fight on Wisconsin - The Nation Workers are behind you!

  • @dufvasven Reagan started it and it has just snowballed from there.

  • @dufvasven We got lazy and apathetic. The bosses are looking for ways to corner us every second. When we make some gains in the workplace we can't just sit back on our laurels, we have to keep fighting because you know they are going to keep coming after us!

  • Just spotted a Quebec flag in the back of that picture at 2:12

    I was vaguely aware we had a branch of the IWW, but I'd never seen a banner or flag for it, even in protests involving both unions and red and black flags.

  • solidarity from the FAU/IAA
