Taken from Wikipedia: Ebbets' two most famous photos were taken during the construction of the Rockefeller Center in New York in 1932. Many of the construction workers seen in the pictures were Mohawk Indians who were hired a great deal in the steel industry.
Lunch atop a Skyscraper depicts eleven men sitting on a girder eating lunch, their feet dangling from the beams hundreds of feet above the New York streets below was snapped on September 29, 1932, and appeared in the New York Herald Tribune shortly after. The photo was taken on the 69th floor in the last several months of construction.
Resting on a Girder is a picture of the same workers lying down on the beam taking a nap.

I used to have a jigsaw puzzle of the picture you mean. It was an awesome picture showing them sitting on a girder, not tied on or anything, eating their sandwiches.

I don't know if you want to buy them or just see them, but Getty Images has some. http://creative.gettyimages.com/source/classes/FrameSet.aspx?pk=5&masterID=200069959-001&bc=&lightboxView=1
If this link doesn't take you right to the photos, just do a search for the subject.
