There's a beautiful James Taylor song entitled "Millworker Which is in one of his song books. Priscilla Herdman recorded it on her second album. It's from a woman's perspective. I could probably pull all lyrics for you if You'd like, but the James Taylor book has chords as well. "Oh my grandfather was a sailor and he blew in off the water. My father was a farmer, and I his only daughter. I took up with a no good mill working man from Massechu- setts who died from too much liquer and left me these three faces to feed. Millwork ain't easy. Millwork ain't hard.Millwork it ain't nothin' but an awful boring job..."

There's also a great Si Kahn song called "You Got to Know When to Move." about workers in South Africa going out on strike in solidarity with workers here in the US. I'd tend to look for stuff by Si (Aragon Mill) Bruce Springstien (sp) is probably also a good source. ("The River", and another one about a child riding home from work with his dad, steering the car, something about "look around you son, this is your town" Anyway, a few thoughts for you. Good Luck.
