Union Holiday Carols Medley
WE WISH YOU A HAPPY HOLIDAY
Chorus:
We wish you a Happy Holiday
We wish you a Happy Holiday
We wish you a Happy Holiday
And an Organized Year!
We thank one and all
For support that you bring
Through the halls of our workplace
Solidarity rings! (Chorus)
On Kwanza or Christmas
Hannukah too
A season of justice
Is our wish to you! (Chorus)
May members be strong
And grievances slight
May your Union spirit
Be bold and be bright! (Chorus)
RUDOLPH THE UNION REINDEER
Rudolph the Union reindeer
Pulled the sleigh for old St. Nick
He signed a Union contract
He knew North Pole politics
All of the other reindeer
Worked long hours around the clock
They paid no heed to Rudolph
They worked in non-union shops
Then one year on Christmas Eve
They all came to say,
"We will do what you advise
Rudolph, help us organize!"
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they lined up with their sleigh
Now when they work on Christmas
They're all getting premium pay.
I’M DREAMING OF A JUST WORKPLACE
I’m dreaming of a just workplace
Where every worker’s organized
Where the law protects us
The boss respects us
And no jobs have been downsized.
I’m dreaming of a just workplace
With every union card that’s signed.
At this holiday may we find
Solidarity and peace of mind
I’m dreaming of a just workplace
Where every worker gets their share
Where the company’s profits
Will reach our pockets
And we’re all treated fair and square.
I’m dreaming of a just workplace
With every campaign we begin,
Until justice comes before greed,
And our workplace rights are guaranteed
HERE'S TO OUR STEWARDS
Tune: Frosty the Snowman
Here's to our stewards!
They're the Union's heart and soul
Every worker goes to these heroes
When injustice takes its toll.
Here's to our stewards!
When the conflict is intense
If the boss gets rough, they will stand with us
They're our first line of defense.
There seems to be no end to grievance forms
that they compile
And they're completely awesome
when they defend the rank-and-file!
Here's to our stewards!
They know every contract clause
Bring the New Year in by awarding them
unanimous applause!
