I should add that, traditionally, I post "Part of the Union," by The Strawbs on this holiday, but last year a Brit reader informed me that in England the song has been read as anti-, rather than pro-, the labor movement. I can't hear it myself, but I'll take his word for it.
In any case, I was gonna dedicate Neil's song to a certain 2008 Democratic presidential candidate who vowed to walk the picket lines in support of workers rights whenever they were being threatened.
I wonder what happened to that guy?
