The Workers vs The Company
by David Pekrul
copyright 12-22-2005


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
What happened to the good-old-days,
With workers worth their pay?
What corporations want to do,
Is take it all away.

They say downsizing is the thing,
And that is where it's at,
The truth of what they do, is that
The Big Boys get too fat.

We're working longer hours, and
We're getting paid much less,
And yet with all the cutting back,
Most firms are in a mess.

We need some solid management,
And one's who think of us,
Some people with compassion, and
Some people we can trust.

Instead we have a leadership,
Who think of just themselves,
Increasing their portfolios,
While we're put on the shelf.

Let's band together in our fight,
And do the best we can,
To take a stand for those who count,
The common working-man.

There is no such thing as retiring from a company. Now we retire from working. My wife has been at her job 18 years and they told her that the company will no longer contribute to her retirement. Its a sad day when they can give million dollar bonuses and nothing to someone that has been there for 18 years. She has been there 8 years longer than anyone in upper management but she didn't get a big bonus. This is a great poem David. Thanks, Anthony

You have certainly made your point with this.
Security of employment as we once knew it has gone. No more jobs for life. Loyalty is to the profit margins, accountants rule.
I was at one time a union steward, I know well the machinations of management.
But the working man still has the power if he wants to use it.
