Beautifully written & performed. Melancholic but far from defeatist. As a GP I frequently ask patients with work related stress issues about union membership.

- Singer David Rovics "when the people united" is a triumphial alternative to the suffering of workers fighting for decency ( probably an oxymoron within capitalism)

For readers not familiar with this work of David Rovics, "When the People United" is a powerful song! You can listen to it here: https://davidrovics.substack.com/p/when-the-people-united-remix
