Sabo-Tankie
The Sabo-Tankie is located near the Woodruff (WI) post office. It is a M60A3 Tank from 1st Battalion 632D Armor--"Compliments of...Wisconsin National Guard."
The Sabo-Tabby was (probably) created by Ralph Chaplin and is public domain by date. It has historical roots in hobo mapping meaning sabotage but it isn't intended to mean physical destruction of machinery by Chaplin and the IWW. Instead, it represents an unauthorized (Wild Cat) strike and is a symbol of industrial unionism and internationalist solidarity. The slow-down, unauthorized by union leadership, is how shop floor class-consciousness manifests outside labor bureaucracy. This act, production decreases without altering compensation, is the labor inverse of the long standing capital demand for production increases without compensation.
The second, more ornery purple-eared sabo-tabby is an unofficial hominidmedia mascot.
