# ORIT-ICFTU Free Labor congress call poster (English-language poster distributed in Mexico City)

A congress call poster: a white radio mast on a map of the Americas sends lightning-bolt signals outward, with the dates and city of the sixth continental congress of the free labor movement. The sheet is signed by the labor organisation ORIT and its parent body, not by a government. The tell is glittering generalities: 'free labor' is presented as a shared continental cause, with no programme stated.
