History of Labor Unions Music

Various Artists, Classic Labor Songs from Smithsonian Folkways (2006)

A collection of the songs that have inspired the labor movement for over a century. It's significant that the first song celebrates IWW poet laureate Joe Hill, and the last is "Solidarity Forever," the anthem of the movement written by IWW activist Ralph Chaplin. The Wobblies were big on music.
