Scabby the Rat
The Iconic Symbol of Labor Protests
Our Scabby the Rat is the most recognized union protest inflatable in the country. These large-scale figures, often 12 ft to 20 ft tall, serve as unmistakable symbols on picket lines, calling out non-union contractors and unfair labor practices.
Every Scabby the Rat is produced from start to finish within our facility right here in the United States. By keeping 100% of our manufacturing in-house, we ensure that every seam, claw, and snarl meets the highest standards of industrial quality.
