We’ve got a Labor Day collection of songs…songs celebrating working men and women and these are songs of both honor and protest, taking us back to the Great Depression when work was hard to find. We’ll also be celebrating the core fight for organizing…whether you’re fighting for the day-to-day pressure of producing faster and better in front of a computer or you’re steaming lattes for the hurried throngs, you have a right to organize and much of the music we’ll share today reinforces the concept. While unions are demonized with threats of offshoring…you know it will be done either way. Music today will include Pete Seeger, Mavis Staples, Paul Robeson, Bruce Springsteen and a whole host of others. Tune in on kowsfm.com/listen or download our app.
