# 4 - Joe Hill LTD Project

Welcome to the LTD Joe Hill Project. In Joe Hill’s Last Will and Testament, Joe told labor union activists with his execution to "don’t mourn, ORGANIZE".
Organizing takes many shapes and forms. Now in this time our lives and livelihoods are in the hands of people who do not appear to respect our work. The Employer has decided to follow a course that is destined to drag on for decades before there is any inkling of success. The BRT project was a pilot project to demonstrate a point. But as another singer has said it is "the new religion that will bring you to your knees."

The High Priest of the BRT religion at LTD is jointly held by Rev. Pangborn and Father Viggiano. They have for years proven their disdain for the organized labor of LTD. They fought hard to keep the Admin employees from organizing some years ago. The high Vicar of worker viciousness is His cluelessness Ken Hamm. This leader of the BRT cult can smile and stab you and you won’t know it until you bleed out and hour later. Why such harsh words say ye to ol’ Joe. Because people matter nothing to these leaders of LTD.

Caesar Chavez said "The fight is never about the grapes or lettuce. It is always about the people." The late great Brother Chavez is correct. It is about the people. The people who work to keep the buses clean, the workers who work to maintain the buses working condition, the service workers who fuel, lube, and wash buses. The same people our operators who drive the buses and the Customer Service workers who help the PEOPLE who ride the buses. And now that we see that when all is done by the workers it is the PEOPLE who are served that should be paramount.

Abraham Lincoln said "Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could NEVER have existed if Labor had not first existed. Labor is superior to capital and deserves much higher consideration."

Joe Hill can not top this. We have seen the priorities of LTD tilt to capital and turn now away from Labor. Workers watch, be aware and prepare. As million lay in the budget for useless folly in capital projects the axe approaches. If not the axe the wall. But the hands of many cannot not be stopped any more than their hands can hold back rushing water. More is coming…Solidarity forever, Joe Hill now email at Joehill_1915@hotmail.com
