Continuing and expanding the popular labor music celebration launched by our
friends at Power at Work, the Labor Heritage Foundation is taking over the Labor Grammys. Building on the strong foundation established by PAW, LHF will now steward the Labor Grammys as a home for songs that lift up worker power, unions, collective action, and solidarity across genres and generations (Watch PAW’s 2025 Labor Grammys Awards here).
Nominations are now open for the 2026 Labor Grammys, and we want to hear from you! We’re not just looking for songs about work; we want to hear songs that put the spotlight on workers organizing, standing together, and fighting for justice—music that belongs on picket lines, in union halls, and in the long tradition of labor culture.
Details on categories and voting will be announced soon. For now, start listening, start sharing, and start nominating. Let’s celebrate the music that moves the movement!
