Linda’s assignment at the Pottsville labor rally against “right to work for less” laws was to be the chant leader. She not only led the 400 union demonstrators in the chants, she wrote some of the chants. An article in the Pottsville Republican noted her efforts. (Click on <http://republicanherald.com/news/union-rallies-in-pottsville-to-protest-right-to-work-1.1583245> for an account).
Here are three of the chants.
Right to work; now that’s a lie!
It’s UGLY, it’s UGLY
Right to work; now that’s a lie!
It’s UGLY, it’s UGLY.
Right to work’s not right at all
It’s UGLY, it’s UGLY
Right to work’s not right at all
It’s UGLY, it’s UGLY.
•••••
Organize, don’t fool around
Pottsville is a union town!
Union town, through & through
You for me and me for you.
•••••
and my favorite:
Richard Yuengling, rich and rude
We don’t like your attitude.
Hey, hey, ho, ho
Right to work has got to go.
If you would like a copy of all ten chants she distributed, let me know. I’ll send you one.
