In the wake of its historic strike victory, the United Auto Workers says thousands of nonunion autoworkers have reached out asking for support in organizing their plants. The UAW already has plans in motion to unionize the whole US auto sector.
Absolutely. As the newest verse to Solidarity Forever goes:
They say our day is over;
They say our time is through.
They say you need no union if your collar isn’t blue.
Well that is just another lie the boss is telling you,
For the Union makes us strong!
I’m sure someone with more sophisticated understanding of prose than I appreciates this, but the fact that the last line rhymes with nothing else is bugging the absolute shit outta me.
(I know the first line doesn’t either but it doesn’t stand out as much)

Absolutely. As the newest verse to Solidarity Forever goes:
The selfishness is what kills us cuz the more selfish will take it all and we have nothing left to fight over except life itself
What force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one?
For the Union makes us strong…
Solidarity forever!

It was written much earlier for the IWW’s Little Red Songbook by Ralph Chaplin
Just add two pairs of ```like so
A lot of lemmy clients don’t wrap text on code blocks, which can be annoying. I prefer the quotation blocks in general

For the record, I’m using Connect.
