Would you choose to go back, working twelve hours a day,
Would you choose to toil more and a pittance be paid?
Will you stand in the union against the new right,
Or do you think on your own you can withstand their might?
The answer is written in our history,
If it weren't for the union, where would we be?

It's our union, our union that defends our rights,
But our union's as strong as our will is to fight,
For the union is you and the union is me,
So stand up and stand by our union.
