Local 14 T-Shirt (back)

The United Paperworkers International Union Local 14 distributed these t-shirts for their many marches. The t-shirt's back illustrates an oversized man, representing International Paper as a big business squeezing its small, powerless workers. 

These bold, blue t-shirts can be seen on many people in photographs of meetings and rallies.
