    As a union man I’m wise
    To the lies of the company spies
    And I don’t get fooled by the factory rules
    'Cause I always read between the lines
    And I always get my way
    If I strike for higher pay
    When I show my card to the Scotland Yard
    And this is what I say:

    OHh…

      Yes they did.
      Probably Sundays too going further back. Was likely one of the big draws that was built into Christianity.

        That predates christianity, judaism already had sabbath. I wonder if that was an original feature when judaism first came into existence or if the concept of a regular rest day is even older.

      Onions have layers.

      Unions have layers.
