1979 Press Photo Workers of Retail and Wholesale Department Store Union strike

Cool time for labor relations...union members picket their own local. But the tactic took a strange twist this morning when eleven workers of the Retail and Wholesale Department Store Union went out on strike and began picketing their own union headquarters. Carrying signs and picketing on the icy streets in front of the union building at 1901 10th Avenue South, the workers said they had shut down the local, claiming other employees and delivery men were honoring their picket line. Strikes - general
