Workers Party activist and musician Don Franks composed this song for the locked out workers and performed it in Wellington.
NDU SONG
Let me tell you 'bout the NDU
organised workers - they know what to do
you won't see them run, you won't see them crawl
they're sticking to the picket line ... proud and tall.
working for Progressive at lousy low rates
try to get improvement and they lock you out the gates
don't buy their merchandise, don't move their stock
keep workers unity ...solid as a rock!
Let me tell you 'bout the NDU
organised workers - they know what to do
you won't see them run, you won't see them crawl
they're sticking to the picket line ... proud and tall.
Six hundred workers is a lot of folks to feed
so come on all the rest of you, give them what they need
don't hang back, sitting on your arse
get down to the picket line...fight for your class!
Let me tell you 'bout the NDU
organised workers - they know what to do
you won't see them run, you won't see them crawl
they're sticking to the picket line ... proud and tall.
Progresive want progress only for the bosses
but we're not taking any more losses
-listen up Progressive, this is what we say:
"A nationwide agreement...with equal rates of pay!"
Let me tell you 'bout the NDU
organised workers - they know what to do
you won't see them run, you won't see them crawl
they're sticking to the picket line ... proud and tall. x2
