Labor Hoodies
Description: Be proud to be a "union thug". Without labor unions, there would be no weekends, minimum wage, paid vacation, 8 hour workdays, social security, pensions, child labor laws, sick leave, overtime pay, work breaks, maternity leave, and more of the labor rights people now take for granted.
Description: "What did you tell that man just now" "I told him to work faster!" "How much do you pay him?" "$25.00 a day" "Where do you get the money to pay him?" "I sell products" "Who makes the products?" "He does" "How many products does he make in one day?" "$100.00 worth" "Then instead of you paying him -- He is paying you $75.00 a day to tell him to work faster!" "Huh? But the machines belong to me-" "How did you get the machines?" "I sold products and bought them" "-- and who made THOSE products?" "Shut up -- he might hear you!" Check out more of my art and products at https://spacedoglaika.com/
Description: "Organize and Take The Big Bag!" This design originally drawn by Jon Lynch, and appeared in the Industrial Pioneer, a publication of the IWW, in June 1925.

Description: Organized class-conscious workers are all that's needed to rid the earth of the parasitic capitalist class. This political cartoon was originally from the May 1938 edition of The One Big Union Monthly, a monthly publication by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). I have completely digitized, redrawn, and refinished this work of art, as well as rewritten the text for the sake of legibility - for the sake of preserving and archiving this important piece of labor history. The IWW still exists today, and if this political cartoon still rings true to you, even nearly a century after it's original publishing, you should consider looking up your local IWW chapter.

Description: "We know he won't join the union, but how about you? Join the I.W.W" This design comes from an IWW stickerette from 1923. The ugly ape-looking creature that we know won't join the IWW is a scab, and that character is used to represent scabs in many IWW posters and agitators from that era. I have redrawn, recolored, refinished, and digitized this art in order to preserve this important piece of labor history. Check out more of my art and products at https://spacedoglaika.com/
Description: This was originally an engraving titled "Portraits of the Haymarket Martyrs" by Walter Crane in memorial of those that fought for an eight hour work day on May 4, 1886 at Haymarket Square in Chicago. I have refinished and digitized this century-old design into modern fidelity for printing. This version is in color, but the original was just in black and white - which is also available in the store.

Description: As we come marching, marching, in the beauty of the day, A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill-lofts gray Are touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun discloses, For the people hear us singing, "Bread and Roses, Bread and Roses." Yes, it is Bread we fight for—but we fight for Roses, too. A design for one of my favorite protest songs. Check out more of my art and products at https://spacedoglaika.com/
