🌟 A Tribute to Workers on Labor Day
Songs of work, struggle, and solidarity
Labor Day honors more than a holiday weekend. It’s a day set aside to recognize the people whose work built and sustain this country—their sweat, skill, and sacrifice. It also marks the struggles of the labor movement, which fought for rights many of us now take for granted: the eight-hour day, safer workplaces, fair pay, and the dignity of having a voice on the job.
At its heart, Labor Day is about solidarity—the idea that when workers stand together, they can change not only their workplaces but also the nation itself.
This Spotify playlist celebrates those contributions and that spirit. From classic union anthems and protest folk to soul, rock, and even punk, these songs echo the history of work, the fight for fair treatment, and the enduring power of unity.
