Central image shows a man in a suit jacket and red pants motioning with his left hand and holding the trigger for a trap in his right hand. To the man''s right is a large bag of money labeled "Booty (Dues) (Fines)". In front of the figure is a large bear trap with papers as the bait that have the sayings "Wild Promises", "We''re Great", "Hot Air", "Phony Claims", and "Baloney". At the left, a man stands near the trap, pointing down at it with his left hand and looking back toward a crowd moving away from the trap carrying a sign that says "Strike". Beneath the image is black text reading "No union means No dues, No fees, No fines, No assessments, No union bosses, No strikes!" in black followed by red underlined text reading "don''t join this crowd!"
