Industrial Workers of the World

"The Rich, The Rich, We Gotta get Rid of the Rich".

SINGING... On the fifth day of shopping,

my true love bought for me,

RAM-PANT COR-PORATE GREED !

pre-sweated pants,

slave labour shoes,

toys made by kids,

all gifts made in sweatshops right here....

Union Solidarity Santa and anti-sweatshop campaigners FairWear visited the RICH outlet in Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, Melbourne for the annual sweat free carols. This was the second time the store was targeted: two years ago management undertook to sign up to the Homeworkers' Code of Practice following a public shaming, but according to FairWear have so far failed to honour their promise.

SOngs like "Learn to Sew! Learn To Sew! Learn To Sew!" and "Slaving in a Sweatshop Wonderland" as well as other classic Christmas tunes with better lyrics as Joe used the Salvation Army tunes and gave them IWW lyrics.

Santa turned out to be a "red" and two " elves" aka "santa helpers" dressed in blue also known as Police showed up.
