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!

        The selfishness is what kills us cuz the more selfish will take it all and we have nothing left to fight over except life(style) itself. We all lose when that happens

          You’ve listened to the Pete Seeger song though right? Solidarity Forever is based on The Battle Hymn of the Republic. They both use an AAAB rhyming scheme and I think are in iambic octameter but I’m not a professional. Pete Seeger didn’t write it, but I love his rendition. He’s got alot of great labor songs.

        Just add two pairs of ```like so

        
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!

          A lot of lemmy clients don’t wrap text on code blocks, which can be annoying. I prefer the quotation blocks in general
