Last Right.
Union’s last right,
The right to strike.
It is the last tool, last lever,
For the worker to withdraw labour.
The elite use the media and press,
To further their agenda and express.
Also demonising strike talk and opinions,
Garnering public support against unions.
Placing fear about job losses,
Targeting the union bosses.
It is fundamental.
Nothing short of vital.
The right to strike is kept,
All the ordinary folk have left.
On must continue the fight,
To maintain that last right.
