Thread Name: Labor Day songs
Subject: RE: Labor Day songs
For women, 'Rosa's Lovely Daughters' by Robb Johnson. And thanks, Bex, for mentioning Brian McNeill's song. He proves union songs can still be written, even if everybody now has everything they want, including automatic pay rises. (I keep trying to explain to colleagues it wouldn't last long if the unions lost their saturated members ...).
Fedele, I love 'Bread and Roses' too (the American version - there is a German version with a different tune which I find rather uninspiring). BTW, whereabouts in Germany are you? Anywhere near the north? You might send me a PM. - Susanne
