The Union Steward

When are these of lowly pay

With haggard look and hair of gray?

They get no rest by day or night.

They’re always wrong. They’re never right

They do not have a law degree

But go to bat for you and me

Though seldom have they been to college

They must have the widest knowledge

Of labor grades and when to grieve

Vacation pay and sickness leave

Of overtime and who’s to do it

Of coffee breaks and who’s to brew it

The how and which and why and when

And the problems of women and men

If, with forepersons they agree

Then they’re rats who’ve got weak knees

If, to workers they try to cater,

They’re branded as agitators

Those who have to take this job

Are called STEWARDS of your shop.


Thank Your

Union Representative

For their hard work
