Subsistence allowance was not a gift
from a rich uncle in America!
Wage adjustments were not introduced
The right to vacation was not a sponsor gift
from a Copenhagen brewery!
The working class never got any gift,
and no one will give us something
in times to come.
All those achievements have been paid
with laborious work, struggles, sacrifices,
disappointments, perseverance and defeat,
and only because some of us
never gave up, we moved foreward!
Carl Scharnberg.
