A pair of early 20th century women strikers in formal dresses with sashes reading 'PICKET STRIKERS.' The left striker's head has been replaced with a 'hacker-in-a-hoodie' cliche. The left one's jacket has been turned Deliveroo blue. She's wearing a matching bike helmet and carrying a Deliveroo food-delivery insulated backpack. They are posed on a background of a giant union conference at Madison Square Gardens, under a banner reading 'ON WITH THE STRIKE! ON TO VICTORY!'
