Staff Writers

Klein Tools recently announced a five-year $250,000 tool scholarship commitment at the 2007 NJATC National Training Institute week in Knoxville, TN.

During NTI's graduation ceremony, Klein awarded its first-year commitment of $50,000 to 10 local IBEW-NECA training programs.

Klein Tool's scholarship program was awarded to the training programs in two parts. Each training program is welcome to use the scholarship materials as they see fit.

The first part of the scholarship program consists of 25 Klein 14-piece apprentice tool sets awarded to each of five winning training programs. These tool sets are intended for distribution to individual apprentices based on criteria determined at the local program level. The second component of the scholarship program consists of a $5,000 endowment for each of five training programs to purchase needed Klein tools for use in their classrooms or training labs.

"Union Burying Ground"

Woody Guthrie (1946)

I see they're lowering right new coffin,
I see they're letting down right new coffin,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
And the new dirt's falling on a right new coffin,
The new dirt's falling on a right new coffin,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
O, tell me who's that they're letting down, down,
Tell me who's that they're letting down, down,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
Another union organizer,
Another union organizer,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
A union brother and a union sister,
A union brother and a union sister,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
A union father and a union mother,
And union father and a union mother,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
Well, I'm going to sleep in a union coffin,
I'm going to sleep in a union coffin,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
Every new grave brings a thousand new ones,
Every new grave brings a thousand members,
Way over in that Union Burying Ground.
Every new grave brings a thousand brothers,
And every new grave brings a thousand sisters,
To the union in that Union Burying Ground.
