Public Workers Stand Together

Public Workers Stand Together

Timea are tough = for -lic = work- ers, ev’ - ry

Times are tough for public workers, ev'ry day it's something new;

Layoff threats and hiring freezes, freezes in our wages too.

Paychecks pounded by inflation, budgets cut down to the bone;

We have got to stand together, it's no time to stand alone!

They say we're only civil servants, and servants have no civil rights

They turn the populace against us with the lies they fabricate.

Let's tell our side of the story, then we'll set the record straight.

Workers in the private sector, we're no different from you.

We work hard to feed our families, pay our rent and taxes too.

It doesn't matter who we work for, we're all workers just the same,

But the rights you take for granted, we're still fighting to obtain.

In conclusion, fellow workers, we must organize for power;

“Solidarity forever" is the watchword of the hour.

Let's fight back in opposition against the bosses and the press,

Build a workers’ coalition and march onward to success.
