A fascinating document. "Does the Lord approve of unions?" I believe the proposed date--1944--is too early. In 1946 the CIO launched Opertation Dixie, a major campaign to unionize post-WWII Southern industry, especially the textile industry. They got huge pushback from Southern political, business, and church interests. Religion played a big part in the resistance. In "The Crisis of American Labor" (Temple University Press, 1988) Barbara Griffith wrote----"The ambiguity surrounding the churchgoing impulses of Southerners suggests that a certain degree of caution must accompany any characterization of the precise impact of religion on Operation Dixie. But however qualified the conclusion, there can be no doubt that there was some influence. Indeed, the heritage of Southern religion intruded time and again upon the organizing efforts of the CIO. The thrust of much anti-union propaganda emanating from religious sources can be summarized in a single phrase: belonging to a labor union was an un-Christian thing to do. As a mill village preacher in South Carolina phrased the options posed by Operation Dixie: “It’s either Christ or the CIO.”---This pamphlet is surely part of that CIO program. At any rate, Operation Dixie failed and the South remained anti-union. There's a Wikipedia entry on Operation Dixie for those interested. By the way, on page 2 the workers are building a 1942 DeSoto. Edited to add: further research confirmed that this comic was indeed part of the CIO's Operation Dixie campaign. That makes the publication date 1946.
