The cut back is a frontal attack on our standard of living, it
sounds like the time and motion men have taken up residence.

Do not be fooled into setting a precedent by giving more than your
daily allowance.

We reap no rewards as they swell the ranks of the unemployed and why should we?
it is they who repay us with minimum wages, and they are shamed into doing so by a government that shames us all.

They'll always want more until you're carried out the door feet first,
then they'll dock a day's pay for dying on the job.

Respect
is a two way street and not a cul de sac that they lead you down to cheat you, to beat you down

Cutbacks? you can keep them and
shove 'em where the sun don't shine.
