Did this end up being the Pajama Game, with Doris Day, in the 1950s? The story IS about labor relations, with Doris as the shop steward. The conflict is she falls in love with the boss' lackey. Likely a revision on the ILGWU version if there's any relation.

After all, there are idiots who like Marx. (We know who you are.) And I read Henwood. The best progressive music many of you never heard of is the musical theatrical production "Pins and Needles." It was orginally staged by the ILGWU in the forties. There was one song in particular for which different words were written corresponding to before, during, and after the Hitler-Stalin pact ("Four Little Angels of Peace Are We"). If you look (if helps if you're in New York City) you can find a 50's LP version featuring a young lady named Barbara Streisand. I'm also fond of reading proletarian messages into the music of The Band. (e.g., "Japan," in the recent "Jericho" album) M.S.
