Story behind the song
I wanted to write a song urging those who currently don't have representation to seek out a union to look out for their interests and give them a voice. This is what I came up with.

UNION SONG
When you haven't got a voice and you haven't got a choice
You'll wanna have the union on your side
When your work rules change each day and your benefits go away
You'll wanna have the union on your side
When you never know exactly where you stand
And the honest claims you make are all denied
When you're losing all your rights 'cause it's not in black and white
You'll wanna have the union on your side
When you want to have a say in the work you do each day
You'll wanna have the union on your side
When their promises aren't kept and they show you no respect
You'll wanna have the union on your side
When they pick and choose the ones that they'd reward
And to others, it's just pressure they applied
And since they control the laws they can fire you without cause
You'll wanna have the union on your side
If you want a fighting chance to get ahead
With security and a sense of pride
There's a way to win this fight
Stand together and unite
Go out and get the union on your side!
Go out and get the union on your side!
Go out and get the union on your side!
