- A vintage gold coloured metal pin badge 2.5cm high with a long stick pin style fastener to the rear
- Featuring runners under the ROH trade union banner.
- The text ROH stands for Revoluční odborové hnutí which is the central administrative body of all Czech trade unions.
- The trade unions fully supported the health and well being of workers by sponsoring health events and vacations.
- The Běh Deníku Práce (Run of the Práce Newspaper) was a popular mass-participation cross-country running event organized by the official trade union press. The peak of this event occurred during the period known as Normalization (the 1970s and 1980s). During this time, the regime heavily promoted state-organized physical education and sports under the banner of the ROH to showcase a healthy, active socialist society.
- Práce (meaning "Labor") was the official daily newspaper published by the ROH union.
