Overview
This shirt was produced by the NZ Meatworkers Union for their union members to wear during a campaign for fairer conditions for their workers. It is an important record of union activism and representation. The tee shirts produced by the Union garnered some controversy when AFFCO banned the tee shirt from its premises on the grounds that it was intimidating and similar to gang regalia.
