Moya's Dream

April 15, 2010  -  15:00

Solidarity / Video

 

April 15, 2010 - a group of postal workers perform a song they wrote at the Atlantic region five-day leadership course.
Moya Greene was then president and CEO of Canada Post. The lyrics are as follows:

Moya's Dream

Moya lives on the hill, C.E.O. and President
We're working long hours, without any rest
We're never afraid, We'll strike in the end
When we put all our strength behind Denis Lemelin

[chorus]: Moya please go away, and leave us alone
Our jobs are important, your outlook's so cold
And the days get so long, the harassment goes on
and we are all so tired, but the union is strong

Health and Safety's on top, give the Union it's props
Cause they fought long and hard, never let the ball drop
We believe in the cause, there's no reason to pause
She might as well pack up and suck up her loss

[chorus]

Harassing members isn't cool, makes you look like a fool
Sick leave is a right, how do you sleep at night
When your laying in bed, what's going though your head
Stop thinking up thoughts, that all posties dread

[chorus]

Towns a hundred miles away, Moya's never been there
She sits in her office, or stands there and stares
And the mail comes at 4 and the carrier is old
She's still dreaming dreams of crushing our souls

[chorus]

RSMCs need rights, they work into the night
They work just as hard but their contract's so light
They deserve the same things and to be treated fair
But it hurts us to know that you just don't care

[chorus]

So Moya please go away, leave our service alone
Our jobs are important, your outlooks so cold
With our strong history, its proven to be
Solidarity's the key, it starts with you and me

Moya please go away, Moya please go away, Moya please go away
