All Labor Has Dignity T-Shirt
From cashiers to nurses, sanitation workers to cooks, and care workers to educators, workers make society run and without the workers, society can't function. This t-shirt commemorates the historic fight of the 1968 Memphis sanitation workers' strike for dignity. In the words of Martin Luther King Jr to these workers, all labor has dignity:
"So often we overlook the work and the significance of those who are not in professional jobs, of those who are not in the so-called big jobs. But let me say to you tonight, that whenever you are engaged in work that serves humanity and is for the building of humanity, it has dignity, and it has worth. One day our society must come to see this. One day our society will come to respect the sanitation worker if it is to survive, for the person who picks up our garbage, in the final analysis, is as significant as the physician, for if he doesn’t do his job, diseases are rampant. All labor has dignity."
