"I think the song is more than just "workers rights". I thin its about humanitarian rights in general within the U.S. and paying attention to the idea that it is the little people, or the "bees" in this case, which make the larger picture and actually make progress:"
I'm not so sure an -Englishman- like Strummer would be writing a song to focus on humanitarian rights in the -US- when there exist plenty closer to home, or transcending a single locality altogether.
The labour-oriented interpretation is probably most accurate, especially when one considers past works like Clampdown and Career Opportunities.
