We are the members, and together .....

We are the members, and together ... we are strong.
The only claim we’d like to make ... is to see ... justice done.
We paid our union dues and we rallied for fair pay
It is teachers at the coal-face, that executive’s betrayed.

We are teachers - united, and we don’t believe their spin.
The fact the union’s pushing it is the real bloody sin
What they need to recognise is what we really want.
Is a fair go for ALL teachers and ... security for jobs.

Come along, and tell the union.
Stand together, vote NO one and all.
We're after fair pay, and a real say.
Members united, together for the cause.
Teachers united, together for the cause.

We're a powerful collective, and it needs to be said.
it’s not right for unions and governments to share the one bed
No ambit claims or unfair aims –this ones a dud and you knew it
Its time to renegotiate - SO DO IT MARY BLUETT!

For a graduate from uni ... there’d be somewhat more.
But it’s not just them but EVERYONE that we’ve been fighting for
We've had enough, we're voting NO ... together hand in hand.
Education revolution ... for the children of our land.

Come along, and tell the union.
Stand together, vote NO one and all.
We're after fair pay, and a real say.
Members united, together for the cause.
Teachers united, together for the cause.
