Industrial Labor Mugs
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: "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: "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. I have redrawn, retraced, digitized and resized the text from the original art to make it easier to read. Check out more of my art and products at https://spacedoglaika.com/
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: 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: This design comes from a cartoon by the Industrial Workers of The World (IWW) in 1920, which depicts a spider labeled "Wall St." atop a web labeled "capitalism" spun across all of society, including the press, law, education, banks, mines, factories, harbors, and train lines. I have redrawn, restored, and refinished this art in order to preserve this important piece of labor history. Check out more of my art and products at https://spacedoglaika.com/
