very pro-union too. They did free shows in Wisconsin for pro-union people during the struggles with Scott Walker. Recently in Philly the venue they were gonna play at had striking stage crew people. They worked with the Union to to resolve things. All in all a great bunch of guys, even if they are rabid Bruins fans. 'The Worker's Song', 'Sing Loud, Sing Proud', 'Take 'Em Down', and many others are all great Union anthems. I love this band. Truly a band you can be happy that your kids are listening to.
