We Are Human 'Round Here
Image
Poster with two cartoon panels. In the first, at top left, a man in a suit has his hand on the shoulder of a man in overalls and is asking, "Do you find things working all right?" A cartoon blackbird in the bottom right corner is commenting: "Some team!" In the second panel at bottom right, a hand labeled: "Agitation" is using a hand punch to attack an anthropomorphic envelope labeled: "The Weekly Pay Envelope." The cartoon blackbird is commenting: "Don't do that!" Poster text reads: "WE ARE HUMAN 'ROUND HERE. OUR employes ARE NOT looked upon as mere cogs in the machines. They are the human masters of our machines. They are looked upon as human beings with brains, hearts, hands and ambitions to do things. They are our WORKSHOP PARTNERS. At the same time as employers, we are SOMETHING MORE THAN A MEAL TICKET. DON'T TRY TO PUNCH US FULL OF HOLES. LET US HELP EACH OTHER."
