International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union - Description:
- Wide shot of approx. 40 workers, mostly women with medium skin tone and dark hair, holding Spanish language picket signs in front of a low brick building. The image is taken from a slight distance away and the picketers fill the whole width. They are standing on the curb and the sidewalk, wearing short sleeves and knee-length skirts. On the far right is a sign reading "Superior Products otra Fabrica." The building is single story brick with rounded likely concrete corners and decorative portico, and double 15 pane windows on each side.
