let 10,000 unions contend

  some keeed sent me this....


 calls himself jumpin johnny 



=================================

  the house of labor 
  better start sponsoring
  a better  contract
        for working america 

a  new improved up to date 
jobwork   contract 
of  by and  for wagelings 
 in this new and growing 
 job world beyond the factory gates 


first we left the farm now we’re leaving the factory 
stop crying and get orged 

  sure in the long run 
wageworkers unions must 
continue to  lobby
and litigate  
keep up their  two front war 
against corporate state control 

obviously job rights 
require both  lobbying
and litigating  
   both  the halls of justice
 and the congress/legislature

 hell gang 
its the political loop dee loop 

but what about right  on the job ?
 working more enjoying it less 
 ladies and gentlemen
 maybe you all need some 
 collective self   representation 
lets put it on paper 
the boss classes 
   got their paper pledges 
lets get us some of that 
enforcible paper too

we suggest you try a   
general on the job org drive

union /contract 
thats what our slogans all about 

get organized folks 

  
   win your own  job site freedom
 thru collective action 

let 10,000
  unions contend 
there’s only one house of labor 
but we need a hell of a lot more rooms 
and maybe we ought to build them different too 

unity through diversity
diversity thru unity 
our vast and narrow  differences and 
our bare  mutual necessities
are what tie
us together 

if we were all the same we wouldn’t want or need each other 
 some little difference and some big difference we need them both
we like closeness and remoteness
 but we done like hopeless  forever aloneness
thats hell enough for anyone 
 
we all have our parts to play
we are all our own best audience and our own
best  players

hit the job sites  
job sites job sites job sites

the opportunities aren’t coming in the union hall door 
are they 
get out and raise holy hell 

are we going to get licked by fragmentation
 of the job site

 we can beat   the jobling diaspora 

only a broadcast approach let the tower bells all peal 
  
only all the  unions together have the megawatts to be heard 
 try a unified  org drive 
collect seperately and strictly for org work 
 create a new environment 
 get everyone talking union 
a revival of the old time religion 
unions are plain great for you 

 seperate from dues for admin of existing units 
strike funds etc 

  get some publicity cooking here
get the chat wave roling from coast to coast 
 create a goal like 30 million 
orged in five years 
 get a fund raising target out there 
scare the boss class into exposing themselves 
set off a wave of snap strikes
 take some fucking on the job liberties
kick out you jackasses kick out and keep kicking out 
and heehaw as loud as you fucking can 
sure 
recruit and train orgers 
 but lets try a little open mike nite a little
orgers karioake 

 show need and means to existing members
get the ranks moving on this 
for a few weeks forget the lobby shit and the campaign 
 for office shit 
 kick this off now hard and big as texas 

 like the old cio effort in 35-37

 we want action  
lets go right to the contract 
 sit down with us or 
sit out with us 
sit down or we close down 

 have one big house of labor org bureau 

assign barg units after election to one union or other 
individual unions  job is get that  contract
 not org/agitprop 
instead of complaining about the termites of time and change 
 
 set the whole house of labor  on fire
bombard the headquarters  
 org the unorged 
you fatso dc loopers hit the asphalt 
org on the curbs in the strip centers in the warehouses 
  go where the new wageforce goes every day 
  go there and set them afire 
org work is for the org
you are  the house of labors
you should be  one big org bureau 

raise money directly like pol  campaigns
   union crusades 
  workers empowerment 
salvation redemption call it anything puff and rage 
 just fucking reanimate 

 the new workers
craftless  
selling general skills  
 targets the care providers and the food  servers
the security and commercial workers
the new office workers 
the distribution workers 

  organize working america 
 
the media will go wild 
the public  will get the word 
fast and with lots of twists 

changing distribution of work force

growth of service employment vs industrial employment 
were production jobs largely just  exported or
  automated out of existence 
is the global ratios still changing 
between extraction/agri  - construction -   transport and handling 
     -industrial -    in person services - communication
  - commercial - financial   

 mechanization/automation of services 

 the  death of the salesman 
  like the death of the gods 
is   possible
but never confuse salesmen with selling 
anymore then gods with superstition
 we still need selling and superstition  
to bind ourselves to the two weird  wheels of the economic world 
the lesser but wider   wheel of commerce  
 and the greater but narrower  wheel of profit
 the buying  out and selling off 
 of america’s hopes and fears 
 is still the profiteers game 
and he’ll make sure one way or other 
that we all  work extra 
 for our wage 
that is unless we’re one of them  
  are there really three seats 
 the exploiters the exploited 
and the neither nors 
what about those neither nors 
remember going  back and forth between ers and eds 
 is not a third way just a toughers calculation on judgement day 
when everyones  plus/minus gets toted up 

overcome post industrial diaspora  of wageling  workforce 
 look at history
each stage different and conflicting sets of obstacles 
 some sectors  more easily  orged others not 
  mine sites construction sites transportation lines 

vs fields   

  miners vs agri workers 

 factory floor vs office floor
