    Robeson sang this for the construction workers on the Sydney Opera House in Australia. Unions are the only way for working men and women to win a decent wage and benefits.

    "There is power in the factory, power in the land, power in the hand of the worker. But it all amounts to nothing if together we don't stand, there is power in a union." - Joe Hill

    I believe in unions, ( In fact I am a member of a union. ) but socialism is just another word for failure, not freedom.

    I like how they're showing me a BP advert before this. Uh, chances are anyone looking up Paul Robeson or Joe Hill isn't exactly the docile, ovine audience you were going for there.

    True. One of his last messages was to IWW leader Bill Haywood. It read, " Goodbye Bill. I die like a true blue rebel. Don't waste any time in mourning. Organize... Could you arrange to have my body hauled to the state line to be buried? I don't want to be found dead in Utah."
