Supervisors at Del Monte, c. 1970.

Floorladies supervised women working on the cannery’s production lines. Managers preferred that women be supervised by other women. The man in the picture is also a supervisor, as designated by his white hardhat. These floorladies were given corsages by their production line workers to celebrate the end of the packing season.
