In celebration of Labor Day, we listen back to a program filled with the music of laborers. We’ll hear songs from coal miners, fieldhands, longshoremen, textile workers and other tradespeople — and we’ll talk with two folk singers about the history behind some of the great labor songs.

Guests:

Faith Petric, folk singer

Pat Wynne, director and founder of San Francisco Bay Area Labor Heritage / Rockin' Solidarity Chorus
