Judy Collins, one of the best, has not gone far afield to find this mixed bag of songs, some sentimental (including the title number, a sweetmeat from the Beatles), some revolutionary (Marat/Sade).

As for their reasons, Yaseen called the labor market "unfavorable," labor leaders "unsympathetic," and "complaints regarding clerical workers universal."
