This week, Katie Marie and Joe present songs and tunes about hard work, unions, desperation, and the tense–and sometimes violent–conflicts between labor and those in power.

We play working songs from Solas; Goitse; Danu´; Dermot Byrne, E´amonn Coyne & John Doyle; Usher’s Island; FourWinds; Bodega; Frank Harte & Donal Lunny; Arcady; The Kane Sisters; Padraig Rynne; Dick Gaughan; and Eoin Duignan.

This week, our FairPlé score is 31
