Fall River Canning Company Posting to Striking Workers
Image
Close-up of a notice posted by the Fall River Canning Company in response to striking workers. The left notice is posted in English and on the right is Spanish. It identifies workers who walked off the job to strike, notifies them that they are fired and must vacate the premises and camp. It also warns other workers that they will receive the same treatment if they follow suit. Someone has written on them "Puro" "cheat" possibly a Spanish-English mix of the Mexican-Spanish phrase "pura mentira" which means "pure lies" in English. Aviso para trabajadores en huelga de parte de la compañía Fall River Canning Company Vista de cerca de un aviso puesto por la compañía Fall River Canning Company en respuesta a los trabajadores haciendo huelga. El aviso a la izquierda está en inglés y el de la derecha está en español. El aviso identifica a los trabajadores que dejaron su trabajo para hacer huelga, los notifica que están despedidos, y deben desocupar las instalaciones y el campo. También advierte a otros trabajadores que recibirán el mismo tratamiento si hacen lo mismo. Alguien ha escrito en los avisos las palabras "Puro" "cheat" posiblemente una mescla de español-inglés de la frase en español-mexicano "pura mentira" ("pure lies" en inglés) o quizás "puro truco."
