In 1972, 4,000 garment workers in El Paso, TX struck Farah Manufacturing Company for union representation. The campaign earned national support from the AFL-CIO in the form of boycotting Farah products. Here, AFSCME members picket in support of Farah employees. AFSCME President Jerry Wurf is seen at the far right in the hat.
