Green capital letters at the top of the card read New Zealand Waterside Workers' Union Waterfront Lockout '51'.The card is printed in green and is covered in symbols of the waterfront. A rope encircling the card has a scroll wrapped around it which lists various workers' groups. Two men load bales on the left, balanced on the right by the outline of New Zealand and the four stars of the Southern Cross. The words, 'Stood Loyal Right Through' in red ink are prominent in the centre of the card and are beneath the cardholder's name and designation. Beneath this at centre, and breaking the rope, is a red globe of the world with workers' hands clasped around it. The Union's stamp and signatures of its officials authorise the card.
