They sing a lot about workers rights and unions, maybe you are joking. “Boys on the Docks” is almost what you’re after, but not saying directly to join a union.
Ken: It’s brand new. It’s about my grandfather, John Kelley. He organized most of the union workers down on the fish pier.

Also, their song “Which Side Are You On” starts with the lyrics:
Achktually Which Side Are You On is an Florence Reece song from 1931 but yeah the Dropkicks version is pretty cool
I did not know that! Thank you for the achktually, I love the history of songs ;)
Come to think of it I’ve heard that song by Pete Seeger and never made that connection somehow until now. Double thanks!
