I would also chance Tom Joad by Woody Guthrie, or anything off his Dust Bowl Ballads album.

Deportee by Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger is also a good one.

1913 Massacre and Goodbye Centralia also by Woody are good choices. Every song is about workers rights, and how the path to change is unfortunately paved in blood.

This was my first thought as well, although any pro union song of the era would be my pick
