Condition A.
The Congress for Industrial Organization formed a Political Action Committee in 1943 to help get out the union vote for Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The workman's glove configured a "V" (for victory and for vote), the bright orange color and photographic image of a massive crowd of men all form a powerful tool to corral the union vote.
