Underneath the text there is a black and white collage featuring Edward Heath being crushed in a fist. A single drop of red blood is being squeezed out of the fist. Edward Heath was the leader of the Conservative party and prime minister from 1970-1975, during which time many anti-union laws were written in response to strike action in the late 60's and 70's. This poster was designed by Ken Sprague in opposition to these new laws. Writing on the back reads "D/C Posters 'Crush Anti-Union Laws' Oct. 1970"
