Quiz: Labor's Long Struggles

First, they came for the steelworkers ... and I said nothing...I did not work at the steel mills.

Then they came for the production workers and I said nothing....I did not work in a factory.....

Then they came for the union workers...and I did not stand up for them....

Now the corporations are coming for MY jobs, to give them to lower wage workers along with no pensions and no health benefits..... and there IS no one left to speak for the white collar workers.....

Will we stand up and speak? Will we support our workers...NOW?

Or, will we let the greedy corporations and the greedy ilk like the Koth Bros. lower wages, take away workers rights...take us back to the 20s and 30s when workers had to work 12-14 hour days....when 12 year old children were forced to work in the coal mines and die of black lung before they were 30. Is that what we are waiting for......to allow the greedy profit-mongers to take over.

We WILL all pay and whine when it's too late.
