Hartford Store Poll Watchers
| Two men sitting in front of Hartford Store cucumber receiving station watch over polls on union election day. The ballot box is on the left side of the table, beside an accordion folder, in front of a man with a dark brimmed hat and arms crossed. To the right sits a man wearing a white hat and glasses looking at the other poll watcher. Behind them are probably crates for cucumbers with a floral sheet draped over some of them. Obreros Unidos (United Workers), a Chicano migrant workers' rights group started in the 1960s for the improvement of working conditions in Wisconsin's agricultural and manufacturing industries. Observador de urnas electorales en la tienda Hartford Store Dos hombres sentados enfrente de la tienda Hartford Store que es una estación para recibir pepinos, están observando las urnas electorales en el día de elección. La urna electoral está hacia a la izquierda de la mesa y al lado de una carpeta estilo acordeón, enfrente de un hombre con un sombrero oscuro y sus brazos cruzados. Hacia la derecha está un hombre sentado, vistiendo una camisa blanca y con anteojos mirando al observador de urnas. Detrás de ellos están unas cajas, probablemente para pepinos, con una sábana floral cubriéndolas. Obreros Unidos, un grupo chicano a favor de los derechos de los trabajadores emigrantes que empezó en los años 1960 para mejorar las condiciones laborales en las industrias agrícolas y manufactureras en Wisconsin. |
