Labor unions: A powerful force for workers' rights and social justice. From Kennedy's inspiring speech to steelworkers, to the poster honoring Tom Mooney's fight for justice, and the victorious celebration of C. I. O. , these images capture the essence of solidarity. Hoffa's bid for Teamster President symbolizes the determination of union leaders to protect their members' interests. Cesar Chavez on the phone reminds us of his tireless efforts in advocating for migrant worker rights. The brave display of unity during a migrant worker strike demonstrates that strength lies in numbers. Tom Mooney's unjust arrest, depicted in handcuffs, serves as a reminder that even heroes face adversity. The seamen union passing strike information highlights how collective action can empower workers against exploitation. Injured garment workers stand together demanding fair treatment and safer working conditions - their resilience is an inspiration to all. The image of a reluctant patient signifies the ongoing struggle faced by some employees who are hesitant to join unions due to fear or intimidation.
