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

The strike worked. No argument, no slogan, just the result. PECO's first strike in 145 years brought back defined-benefit pensions and retiree medical coverage the company had taken off the table, and the retiree in the tee got a letter in August restoring the coverage she had lost in a memo the year before. This tee is the letter, three words long.

Wear it to the union hall on the anniversary, the retiree meeting, the Labor Day parade, the picket line at the next fight, and the family dinner where a relative asks what the strike accomplished. It is a strong gift for a PECO retiree, a strike captain, a new member who saw it work, and the friend who kept the August letter.

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 words that read across a retiree 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 August-letter 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
