Description: A group of men and one woman picket outside the Timken Roller Bearing Company plant in Columbus, Ohio, in this photograph taken for the Columbus Citizen-Journal on November 10, 1949. Union employees of the company had walked out earlier that month, striking for a pension plan similar to those adopted by other steel industry companies.
