Communications Workers of America members heckling strike breakers being escorted from the 6th Avenue exchange of the Southern Bell Telephone Company in Birmingham, Alabama.

In 1955, CWA members staged a successful 72-day strike against Southern Bell. The sleeve for this negative gives the location as Bessemer, but the building pictured is the Southern Bell facility at 1715 6th Avenue in Birmingham.
