A Labor Day tribute to work and workers

by Denise Oliver Velez

Each year on Labor Day, I have a soundtrack in my head. Songs about working people, and labor, and unions. Many of the images that accompany that soundtrack are from WPA Federal Art Project murals that fascinated me as a child. I grew up listening to a lot of folk music, and songs that celebrated struggle. The man whose voice I can still hear is Paul Robeson. So I'll open with his version of Joe Hill.

I hear echoes of Joe Hill's music in John Lennon's Working Class Hero.

Though for many, labor day weekend means the last gasp of summer, or a time to cash in on sales, for me it will always be about work—whether in the fields, or factories, on chain gangs or in cafeterias and offices.

So join me today in celebrating work and workers, and feel free to post your favorite songs that epitomize this day for you.

Alert: This post will be very video heavy. Most will be below the fold.

Great stuff!

Two whole comments, one is his/hers/its.
Then, not happy with the turnout, throws another, half an hour later.

Labor Day 2012: Honoring the Great American Worker
Labor Day 2012: Honoring the Great American Worker

Secretary Hilda Solis

On the first Monday of September, we honor the workers who built the world’s strongest economy. This Labor Day, as the U.S. Department of Labor approaches our centennial celebration, I take extra pride in the historic efforts of today’s workers to drive our recovery by learning new skills and adapting to new challenges.

For more than two centuries, the prospect of work has drawn people to our shores to pursue new opportunities and dreams of a better life. The demands on our workers have changed over the generations, but we’ve always risen to the occasion.

During the Industrial Age, factory workers saw their knowledge and paychecks grow as they mastered new processes to mass produce everything from automobiles to armaments. Following the Great Depression, more than 6 million women joined the workforce, clocking in at shipyards, lumber mills and foundries, and their production helped us win the Great War. And the Internet age carried the talents of our workers across the globe, as our ideas and products reached new markets and brought the world closer together.

As I mark my fourth Labor Day as the nation’s secretary of labor, I’m inspired by job seekers from all walks of life in this country going back to school and upgrading their skills to match the demands of a 21st century global economy. I’m impressed by communities coming together and new partnerships being formed among employers, labor unions and community colleges. And I’m reminded that for this federal agency and this administration, Labor Day has been, and will always be, every single day.

This Labor Day, we lift up American workers who are doing what it takes to reinvent themselves to ensure that our future is even brighter than our past.

Republicans aren't talking about "build that" today because they know they're full of crap.

Fact: The recovery was hindered by Republicans

Yo, prosense, let's have a Employers Day.
You go to work for free, one day a year.

Real American workers won't be voting for Dear Leader.  OTOH, America's Gimme-Gimme-Gimme types will be.

You mean the guy who sang this . . . ?

You know, I thought for sure 2012 was going to be the year of the 0bamaite primitives, for the top primitives.

I thought maybe about seven of the top ten slots would go to them.

As it looks now, probably none of them'll make it into the top twenty, unless some of them ramp up their performances, and in a hurry.

The nonsensical primitive is currently the most rabid and enthusiastic 0bamaite, but all she does is copy-and-paste, nothing more, nothing original, never anything worth reading.

It's like the "weather bulletins" issued by Vlada Mitty and the malarial primitives; I suspect the nonsensical primitive actually believes she's performing some sort of public service in posting these things, and it sure beats doing anything of substance, any real work.
