"The PBR is very excited to be associated with the Dickies American Worker of the Year awards," said Randy Bernard, Chief Executive Officer of the PBR. "Our fans and cowboys are hardworking folks, and we're happy to help honor and reward their contribution to this country."
Dickies has been clothing this nation's workers since 1922, and awarded its first American Worker of the Year Award in 1992 to an Alabama hog farmer. Since then, winners have appeared on national TV, with one US President and on the Grand Ole Opry.
Since its beginnings in Fort Worth, Texas in 1922, the Williamson-Dickie Mfg Co has grown from a humble manufacturer of bib overalls into a global brand powerhouse, with DICKIES work pants, shirts, denim, outerwear, school uniforms, outdoor gear, medical and chefs apparel and an extensive licensing program offering sturdy head-to-toe clothing options for hardworking men and women of all ages, professions, regions and interests.
Williamson-Dickie operates through subsidiaries in North America, Canada and Europe as well as exclusive distributorship around the world.
