Our union's story is there to be seen.

We've won many victories, we've suffered defeats.

But as I turn through the pages

And look back through time,

There's one simple question stands out in my mind.

Today we may prosper, today we live free

So stand up and stand by our union.

From it's humble beginnings our union has grown,

So no working person need struggle alone.

But no gain that’s been made has been made without cost,

And together we'll see that no gain’s ever lost;

If it weren't for the union, where would we be?
