Part Of The Union (No.17)
Back To 1973Choose A Different YearNext Video
"Part Of The Union" was a UK No.2 hit single for "The Strawbs" taken from their 1973 album "Bursting At The Seams" and was the band's most commercially successful single.
The song was unofficially adopted by the trade union movement in the 1970's, and it is widely considered to be a proud folk anthem for the working man.
However, the lyrics may be read as somewhat sarcastically anti-trade union.
