Unisex with a relaxed cut, true to size, S to 4XL. Garment-dyed heavyweight tee.

Nurses are not disposable. The people who hold the hospital together are done being treated as expendable, and the med-surg nurse in the tee walked out for safe staffing after her unit ran two nurses short for a full year while the hospital posted record revenue. Fair pay and a floor that is fully staffed is the demand. This tee backs the walkout.

Wear it to the picket line, the state house hearing on staffing ratios, the nurses' union rally, the hospital board meeting, and the family dinner where a relative says nurses make good money. It is a strong gift for a med-surg nurse, a nursing student, a union steward, and the friend who worked the short shift.

The tee is a Comfort Colors 1717, garment-dyed in 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, soft and evenly colored, with a heavier hand than a novelty tee and three lines that read across a hospital board meeting. Direct-to-garment. It bonds with the cotton.

Unisex, relaxed, true to size. S through 4XL. Colors: Black, White, Bay, Blossom. Also Chambray, Graphite, Ivory, Banana. It is the two-short entry in the union and labor collection.

Designed and printed to order in the USA. Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach or iron the design.

Printing and care

Printed to order in the USA, direct to garment: water-based ink goes into the fabric rather than sitting on top, so the print stays soft and does not crack or peel.
