Make the bosses take the losses! flier, Seattle, May 1975
Order an ImageIn May 1975, Eddie Bauer, a prominent Seattle clothing manufacturer, fired over 70 garment workers without notice. Most were women - members of the United Garment Workers Union Local 17. On May 17, some two-dozen people picketed the downtown Seattle Eddie Bauer store in protest. The laid off workers blamed the company for firing them because of their union membership, while the company blamed the firings on slow business.
At this time, Seattle and the nation were still suffering from the effects of a nationwide recession brought on by the Boeing Bust and a worldwide oil crisis. An organization called the Unemployed Workers Organizing Committee produced this poster to rally support for the workers.
