Book held up against a bright blue sky. The text on the cover reads, "Standing Up to Big Nickel: The Story of the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers' Strike, 1958." The cover art is a 1950s style painting of workmen in the road coming home from work with smokestacks in the background and colourful 1950s cars in the road beside them.

The cover of book, with the title "Standing Up to Big Nickel" appearing in light blue font and the subtitle "The Story of the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers' Strike, 1958" in white font. In the background there is a mid-century painting of workmen in the road. Three mid-century cars, one green, one red, and one blue are in the road behind the men. A building with tall smokestacks towers behind them, the smoke from the smokestacks curling into the sky.
