The threatened closure of the labor artist Mike Connor was stopped as a result of a broad telephone campaign by labor activists and leaders in New York. After numerous angry calls from trade unionists throughout the New York area, the Cornell-Manhattan ILR management backed down and withdrew the demand that the show come down.

This is a  victory for IBEW/IATSE artist Mike Connor and others who are fighting against censorship of labor art and media.
