Picadilly Pub.  We will pay honour to the working class struggles of the
past 100 years in Vancouver beyond, the bloody labour strikes of the
1930's, the free speach campaigns of the early 20thCentury, the execution
of IWW organizer/folk singer Joe Hill, and yet many more.  You won't need
to know anything about labour history to come and see what this show is
all about, you will only need to know about partying!!

THE INDUSTRIAL WORKERS OF THE WORLD MISSION STATEMENT:

The working class and the employing class have nothing in common. There
can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of the
working people and the few, who make up the employing class, have all the
good things of life.  Between these two classes a struggle must go on
until the workers of the world organize as a class, take possession of the
means of production, abolish the wage system, and live in harmony with the
Earth.
