Fine Shammy Records comments: 

 

“Solidarity Voices” is a compilation album presented by Fine Shammy Records and the San Francisco chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America.

 

San Francisco punk rockers Picnic Casket hold the picket line with the lead single “Solidarity Forever,” which is brand new version of the traditional trade union anthem. Lyrics were written in 1915 by Wobbly labor activist Ralph Chaplin.

 

All profits from album sales benefit the DSA SF Strike Labor Board in its efforts to support UPS Teamsters through the current contract negotiation and possible strike. In the event excess funds remain after the Teamsters/UPS contract is ratified, they will be earmarked for the DSA SF Strike Ready Committee’s continuing activities, supporting strike readiness and other labor organizing support.”
