"A
Salute to the Shop Steward"
Who is the person of lowly pay
With the haggard look and hair of gray?
Who gets no rest by day or night,
Who’s always wrong and never right.
Who doesn’t have a law degree,
But who goes to bat for you and me.
Though seldom have they been to college
They must possess the widest knowledge
Of labor grades and when to grieve,
Of vacation pay and sickness leave.
Of overtime and who’s to do it,
And coffee time and who’s to brew it.
Then how and which and why and when
And all the problems known to men.
If with the foreman they agree,
Then they’re the rats who have weak knees.
But, if to the workers they try to cater,
Then they’re branded as agitators.
The guy or gal who has to take the slop,
Is proudly called Steward of the Shop!
