Answer 4

The first thing that comes to mind is to look at the discography of Pete Seeger; for example:

American Industrial Ballads — Smithsonian/Folkways 40058

Peg and Awl, The Blind Fiddler, The Buffalo Skinners, Eight-Hour Day, Hard Times in the Mill, Roll Down the Line, Hayseed Like Me, The Farmer is the Man, Come All You Hardy Miners, He Lies in the American Land, Casey Jones, Let Them Wear Their Watches Fine, Cotton Mill Colic, Seven Cent Cotton and Forty Cent Meat, Mill Mother's Lament, Fare Ye Well, Old Ely Branch, Beans, Bacon and Gravy, The Death of Harry Simms, Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues, Ballad of Barney Graham, My Children Are Seven in Number, Raggedy, Raggedy Are We, Pittsburgh Town, Sixty Per Cent

He (along with many other folk/folk rock artists) also recorded the songs 'Joe Hill' and 'Which Side Are You On?', both about labor unions.

There's also Johnny Paychek's "Take This Job and Shove It".

Good Question.  I'm sure you'll get plenty of other good answers!

Answer 5

I'll put my money on Johnny Paycheck's "Take This Job and Shove It!"
