GUEST,High and Lonesome Union Songs for Modern Singers (34) Union Songs for Modern Singers 14 Feb 00


I've got two young girls to raise, ages 5 and 3, and I've been trying to teach them about the day in day out fight that the common people have to wage just to make it in this world. They have a misguided notion of what is probable, I fear. (No poor people show up in Disney movies.) I've been trying to educate them by singing them folksongs, and it seems to be working. I want to teach them about the importance of unionizing, and collective action, but all of the union songs I know sound a wee bit out of date. Any suggestions, either for old powerful songs or for new ones that really pack a punch. (Please don't give me "Look for the Union label") I'll be eternally grateful.
