They did not suffer…

workplace deaths and resource wars related

Looked at on an international scale workplace related deaths outnumber those killed in wars, and the wars are trade wars for resources like fossil fuels or Coltan for mobile phones to supply the same Corporations that are so dangerous to work for. 

Asbestos is still being mined and exported by Canada, uranium is still being mined and exported by Australia just these two socalled "peacefull" societies export deaths on a scale hardly considered.

IWW little red songbook australian version: The Bosses darling

Little Red Songbook Australian version is coming

so we wage-slaves can sing while we strike, Occupy a chorus.

"The Bosses Darling."

(Anne Ominous.)



Oh come along down to the factory


The production line is turning


If you work all day for the minimum pay


God knows what you’ll be earning


Just step in line when you arrive


To keep your family alive


At the end of the day you just survive

to be
 The Bosses Darlin'



So come along…

Occupy a chorus - sing and strike.

(Robb Johnson)

 

What will they say of us, 100 years from now?

When they look back on these unhappy days

They’ll shake their heads at how so many swallowed lies

That dog eat dog so long went

Undefeated.

 

And will they curse us then that so much death crept in

There was so little left to build again

Or will their smiles salute, and like a song recall

The ones who through it all…
