30 points Hold the Fort
(English Transport Worker's Strike Song)

We meet today in Freedom's cause,
And raise our voices high;
We'll join our hands in union strong,
To battle or to die.

Chorus:
Hold the fort for we are coming–
Union men, be strong.
Side by side we battle onward,
Victory will come.

Look, my Comrades, see the union
Banners waving high.
Reinforcements now appearing,
Victory is nigh . . .

Fierce and long the battle rages,
But we will not fear.
Help will come whene'er it's needed,
Cheer, my Comrades, cheer.
What is the main idea of this song?

Unions are a good idea, but they are not always effective.

If workers band together in unions, they will stay strong and be protected.

If employers wish to avoid a fight, they should simply ignore unions.

Being part of a union means workers will always be in a battle of some kind.
