End of a era

By Janice Gavin on March 2, 2020 Cartoon

Here is one of the final labor cartoons published by labor cartoonist Mike Konopacki, who along with Gary Huck, had syndicated their cartoons to the labor press in the U.S. and Canada from 1983 until last month, when they ended publication. In addition to labor issues, Konopacki and Huck would publish monthly cartoons on political and social issues. Union members themselves, Konopacki and Huck have also presented several programs at CSEA conferences and re-designed our CSEA Canary in 2006.
