The Executive, staff and members of the United Services Union express our great sadness about the passing of our friend and colleague Roy Byrnes and extend our deepest sympathy to Roy's family and friends. Roy passed away on Monday 28th December 2009 and his funeral will be held on Wednesday the 6th January at 2pm in the Our Lady of the Sacred Heart church Avoca Street at Randwick.
The speakers for the United Service Union shall be Organiser Wayne Moody and Ben Kruse General Secretary.
SOLIDARITY FOREVER
When the union’s inspiration through the workers blood shall run There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun. Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one? But the union makes us strong!
Solidarity forever! Solidarity forever! Solidarity forever! For the union makes us strong!
Is there aught we hold in common with the greedy parasite Who would lash us into serfdom and would crush us with his might? Is there anything left for us to do but organise and fight? For the union makes us strong!
Solidarity forever! Solidarity forever! Solidarity forever! For the union makes us strong!
They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn, But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn. We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom, when we learn That the union makes us strong!
Solidarity forever! Solidarity forever! Solidarity forever! For the union makes us strong!
In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold, Greater than the might of armies magnified a thousand fold! We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old, For the union makes us strong!
Solidarity forever! Solidarity forever! Solidarity forever! For the union makes us strong!
