Old Crow Medicine Show - Union Maid Lyrics
Now, there once was a union maid
She never was afraid
Of the goons and the ginks
And the company finks
And the deputy sheriffs who made the raid
Where a meeting, it was called
And when the boys would come up to her
Lord, this is what she'd say
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm stickin' to the union
I'm stickin' to the union, I'm stickin' to the union
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm stickin' to the union
I'm stickin' to the union, till the day I die
Now this union maid was wise
She'd take the dare
She didn't care
She'd always organize the guys
And she always got her way
When she asked for better pay
She showed her card to the National Guard
Honey, this is what they'd say
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm stickin' to the union
I'm stickin' to the union, I'm stickin' to the union
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm stickin' to the union
I'm stickin' to the union, till the day I die
Now, you girls who wanna be free
Just take a little tip from me
Oh, get you a man who's a union man
And you can join the Ladies' Auxiliary
Because married life ain't hard
When you got a union card
And the union life is a happy life
If you've got a union wife
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm stickin' to the union
I'm stickin' to the union, I'm stickin' to the union
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm stickin' to the union
I'm stickin' to the union, till the day I die
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm stickin' to the union
I'm stickin' to the union, I'm stickin' to the union
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm stickin' to the union
I'm stickin' to the union, till the day I die

A union maid is a politician.
BIDEN/ABRAMS 2020!
I don’t believe he’s a union man,
Try Bernie, a true believer of the union
@Erwin Rommel #BLOCKED, Nazi
Biden = unions = collective bargaining = health care = women's right = education = EEOC
Teamster Local 174...Let my son come with me to the '97 Strike against UPS. He was 11 y.o.
He asked me if he could say bad words and I said "Just this once, I suppose" and the next thing I know he is shakin' his fist at a boss driving a delivery truck out of the warehouse and yelling "We're gonna shut this whole country down, you dirty rat."
I love that little guy.

HAPPY LABOR DAY! 2018
I despise unions, but I adore this song. Can someone explain myself to me?
They're talking about "The Union" as in the North - not workers unions.
What? lol I'm pretty sure this song is about a woman who's a member of organized labor – not a Yankee, lol.
It's a folk song about Workers Unions.
Union-busters violently suppressed workers from organizing with the help of crooked cops (the "Company finks and deputy sherrifs" referenced) and used other intimidation tactics such as infiltrating organizing workers and seeding dissent ("company spies")
Despite all of this, the Union Maid remains unwavering in her support for workers' rights.
Unfortunately today, many people claim to despise unions, yet continue to benefit from the tireless hours of labor from union organizers. You like having Saturdays and Sundays off? You like getting guaranteed breaks during your shift? You like sick hours? You like maternity leave? You like minimum wages? You like companies matching contributions to your retirement plans?
You can thank unions for all of those. Lots of propaganda floating from rich corporations looking to remove the power that we've fought so hard to keep, you know what I say to all that? You can't scare me, bud.
