This mass-produced pin was presented to Andre Czegledy (in 1992) during the course of his doctoral fieldwork by a union shop steward at Ganz-Hunslet, a joint venture company whose independent union was loosely affiliated to the Ironworkers Union. The pin was presented upon his being named in passing as an 'Honorary Member' of the independent Union, although no such formal status was confirmed.
