1. GOOD.
Says proud granddaughter of the ILGWU. My seventeen-year-old grandmother was the first to walk out of her sweatshop and onto the picket line over 90 years ago.

3. I'm ILGWU too
My uncle and aunt and lots of other Jewish immigrants in the rag trade


Look for the Union label
When you are buying a coat dress or blouse

We work hard,
but who's complaining
ILGWU is showing the way
So always look for the Union Label
It means we're able to make it in the USA

Russell is busting unions in Honduras. Schools liked the Honduras-made stuff just fine.
