Curated by Blake Palmer. Workers’ movements and labor unions have played a critical role in many political and social justice efforts. Fights to improve labor conditions, combat fascism and imperialism, and achieve racial and gender equity have all been shaped by the words and actions of laborers. Posters, flyers, and pamphlets have been an important part of how labor movements communicate: rallying workers to strike, agitating for political resistance, publicizing their demands, and educating other working-class people. These works from post-industrial revolution workers’ groups in Europe and North America show the shared commitment to justice that connects diverse labor movements.
