Welders, or For Full Employment After the War
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful poster created by Ben Shahn in 1944 for the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO). This striking image was designed to encourage war workers to register and vote in that year's Presidential election during World War II. In this print, we see two men wearing goggles, fully immersed in their welding work. The intense focus on their faces reflects the dedication and determination of American workers during wartime. They represent the backbone of America's industrial might, diligently working towards victory. The text on the poster emphasizes the importance of employment after the war ends. It reminds viewers that registering to vote is crucial for securing full employment opportunities for themselves and their fellow workers once peace is restored. By participating in democracy through voting, these war workers can shape policies that will benefit them as they transition back into civilian life. This artwork also highlights integration within America's working class. One of the welders depicted is an African American man, symbolizing unity among diverse laborers striving towards a common goal. Shahn's poster serves as a patriotic call-to-action, urging all Americans engaged in war-related industries to exercise their democratic rights. It embodies both propaganda and hope - reminding citizens that they have agency over their future while honoring their invaluable contributions to Allied victory. As we reflect upon this historical piece today, it stands as a testament to our democratic system and its ability to empower individuals from all walks of life towards building a better future together.
