40 Anniversary of the FAT (ranchera) words: David Garcia, music: Jesús (Lolo) Rivas
In the year of 1960, our union is born. Even when we receive threats while organizing the masses of urban and farm workers, we face our destiny.
Come on, comrades—our path is straight! We fight with honor, defending the rights of the working people. With 40 years under our belts, we celebrate these times—preparing comrades to reap what we’ve sown. We must live like brothers, uniting our efforts. I’m not going, I won’t say good-bye. The cause requires us to fight tirelessly. Long live the union, comrades, torches of resistance!
40th Anniversary of the FAT celebrates the rich and proud 40-year history of the Frente Autentico del Trabajo (FAT) - the courageous, militant federation of democratic unions, cooperatives, community organizations and farm worker groups in Mexico.
