Summary

".. There are: straight trade union songs and ditties ... ; songs of the hardships that working men and women have to face during times of depression ; philosophic songs and ironic comments on the economic system ; songs that grew out of the fight against slavery ; and songs expressing the dreams of people of many lands throughout the ages. Often set to tunes of familiar folk songs, popular songs and gospel hymns, these are the songs by which unions organized and which thee members of each labor group sang out ... Most of the songs are American in origin. A few, drawn from England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Germany, Israel, and the Philippines remind us that the fight for freedom knows no boundaries ..." -- Back cover
