Would love to read it if they still have it! There's not much written on it (or PFT labor history in general for that matter) (Also thank you for talking about us with your fellow workers?)

BREAKING! Workers at the Coleman Village store in Atlanta, GA just UNANIMOUSLY voted to unionize tonight, 14-0! They're joining over 520 Starbucks stores that have organized, and soon they'll be able to add their voice at the bargaining table as we finish up the foundations of our union contracts!

Just thinking about how one of the most popular musicals of the late 1930s was written for the ILGWU, had a cast made up entirely of union members, and had a plot focused on antifascism, strikes, and labor rights.
