UTF Solidary Forever! (to the tune of "Mine eyes have seen the glory of...")

Thanks to Erin Fox, CMU Art/Theater Dept. for the following adaptation of a traditional labor song. We sounded wonderful singing it together today!

Solidarity forever!

Solidarity forever!

Solidarity forever!

For we make CMU strong!

We're your teachers, we're your mentors, we assign the grades you earn!

The right to form a union is our number one concern!

Hopes for a better future will be realized when we learn

That we make CMU strong!

With the union's inspiration we'll negotiate health care

Not to mention job security and wages that are fair!

Which is why we're rallying here today to stand up and declare

The we make CMU strong!

We're so pleased that part-time faculty now have the right to vote!

President Ross and trustee members finally listened and took note!

They realized that temp faculty keep CMU afloat!

For we make CMU strong!
