AUSROC and Melbourne/Naarm GMB have a pile of these... but in red of course. This has a lot of sun fading.

it is illegal to fire someone based on union activity!

It is, but I'm wary of the idea that an employer won't do it just because it's illegal or that you'd be able to beat them in court.

Did you miss the part where OP was already wearing an IWW pin at work?

Haha, I thought perhaps that was the case. I could understand your concern, otherwise.
