Meany in Miami Beach with our union dues
A poster shows a portly man in a hat and glasses, a cigarette in his mouth, looking into a wallet he holds, under the headline "Meany in Miami Beach with our union dues", with "Build rank & file caucuses - 30-hr. week 40-hr. pay!" running down the side. The photograph and caption together imply that members' dues pay for the union president's leisure, with no figure or document offered.
