THE
FREE RIDER`S CREED
The dues paying member is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He provided me with paid holidays and vacation, so I may
continue to lie down idle in green pastures beside the
still waters.
He restored my back pay.
He guideth my welfare without cost to me.
Yea, though I alibi and pay no dues from year to year, I fear
no evil, for he pays my way and protecteth me.
The working conditions he provideth, they comfort me.
He anointeth my head with the oil of seniority.
He fighteth my battle for pay raises.
Yea, my cup runneth over with benefits.
Surely, his goodness and union spirit will follow me all the
days of my life, free of cost.
And I shall dwell in the union house that he hath built
forever, and allow him to pay the bill.
