I have been working on writing a few jingles for my union, UPTE-CWA. My first jingle was inspired by the Air Force Song, “Off we go into the wild blue yonder, flying high into the sun.” In my head, it follows the same tune.
Here’s my UPTE version:
Off we march fighting for a contract.
Ready to strike for a good life.
Bring it on. We’re going to make an impact.
We will win. Move pass the strife.
Together we stand. In solidarity we act.
Join us and jump in the line.
We will resist.
We must persist.
Come join UPTE 9-1-1-9!
Another chant:
Cannot make a living wage?
Free yourself. Deflect that rage!
Sick of wage disparity?
Join UPTE’s solidarity!
Let us not forget to mention
We’re also here to save our pension!
Here’s one more:
UC wants to privatize
Do not listen to their lies
Stand with UPTE’s strength and size
Fire up!
RESIST and RISE.
Fire Up!
UPTE
Fire Up!
UPTE
