AFSCME AFL-CIO Local 1644 on strike for justice-dignity." In this photo, there are a number of hand-lettered signs, one reads "Sisters unite; begin to fight!" another reads "Massell -- we put you in -- and we'll take you out!!" and another reads "City of Atlanta on strike. Instead of money he sent bags. Try eating one." ("Massell" is Atlanta Mayor Sam Massell; and "bags" probably refers to garbage bags.) A woman in the crowd is holding a copy of the Great Speckled Bird.image/jp2Atlanta, Ga. : Georgia State University Libraryhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-EDU/1.0/Tom Coffin PhotographsStrikes and lockoutsSanitation workers--Labor unionsDemonstrationPicketingAFSCME.
