Labor Music and Culture

Song, dance, poetry, humor, and theater have long been an integral part of the labor movement, both here in the United States, and around the world.

Please visit the website of
Hard Miles Music
to hear an "earful" of labor music by UNITE! organizer & song-writer Phil Cohen.


Please visit the website of
Music of the Detroit Newspaper Strike
to hear and appreciate more labor music by various performers.
And you'll also get a glimpse of corporate America's union-busting agenda.


Please visit the website of
Union Songs
to hear even more labor music, to read some actual song lyrics,
and to find a very extensive list of links to even more music sites.


a classic-- lyrics to "Solidarity Forever"


something new-- lyrics to "Angel of Freedom"


Please visit the website of
Huck & Konopacki labor cartoons
for really excellent labor humor;  they've been doing it for years


See how much Union culture exists in song and humor?
See what we've been missing out on?

Hey, maybe we need a FedEx Union song!
Anybody out there care to write
some words & music?

We could record a version and put it on the internet for FedEx workers everywhere & anywhere to hear!
