Singer/Songwriter Bobby Depace reached deep in his soul and produced "Unionized", addressing the hardships faced by American Union workers.
A retired Union leader for NWA, Bobby DePace has personally experienced the issues he sings about on this album. The reason for creating this album are stated, frankly, by Mr. Depace.
"Since 9-11 the American worker has sufferd dearly. Not only has the corporations of our country taken advantage of the fallout of 9-11, they have brutalized the American worker seeking every angle to demoralize and strip the Union worker of all the gains that collective bargaining afforded them over the course of many years of negotiations. All under the guise of 9-11 and a premeditated faulty economy served up by the administration of President George W. Bush.
Union workers and non-union workers have lost their pensions and 401k's, suffered decreases in their wages, benefits, and union members have lost valuable contract language. Again, all at the whim of corrupt and deceitful corporations that just took it from their workers by threatening to outsource their worker by driving their companies into bankruptcy to get what they wanted, not what they needed.
Airline workers and autoworkers are two examples of the many jobs that have been outsourced with cheaper labor here in America or just outright shipped good manufacturing jobs overseas as the Bush admisinstration stood by and allowed it. Infact, they encouraged it.
We need a drastic change in America if workers are to be part of the American dream. As workers, unions are our only hope. Strong union leadership and brazen action by their members are required to succeed. "
