In honor of Teamster women's history, we bring you this photograph from 1955. Pictured here is a Teamster picker at Knaust Mushroom Company. Many of the workers at the company were women, and they wore rigging and headgear lamps to help navigate through darkness. The workers at the Catskill, New York, company were members of Local 294.
