The workers
United
Will never be defeated

United - that's the key word, and the hardest to achieve I suspect in today's world where the mantra seems to be every man for himself. My partner worked at a place about five or so years ago where a walk out was organised for some reason or other, can't remember the details of the why of it now. Anyway they all went down to the pub had a couple of drinks and congratulated themselves on their stand then went their separate ways. Some went home and some sneaked back to work.

G'day MB,

Let me say your poem is the truth and as far as metre goes didn't miss a beat.

I'm a Labor voter and during my working days a paid up union supporter. It was compulsery anyway.

Rudd the reformer.

Most voters are backslappers and champagne drinkers and wouldn't know the difference between pairing and patronage.
