Union Label Week - Nov. 25 - Dec. 4
A message from your UAW Local 276 Union Label Committee and the Union Label & Service Trades Department, AFL-CIO:
The 10 days following Thanksgiving are designated by the AFL-CIO as “Buy Union” week to encourage all union members to look for union-made goods and services when they buy for the Holiday Season. This year, Buy Union Week is November 25-December 4.To find a union made gift or service, go to our Buy Union Database at https://unionlabel.org/database-of-union-products-and-services/. You can also find a curated do-buy product list on our Do Buy page at https://unionlabel.org/do-buy/.
When you buy union, you’re supporting good jobs in American communities, jobs that provide living wages and benefits, safe working conditions and dignity and respect for work.
Holiday shopping traditionally kicks off on “Black Friday” — designated as such because it’s the timeframe when many retailers move from red ink to black on their balance sheets. Shoppers will find plenty of “bargains,” but union family shoppers will want to look beyond foreign-made electronics, trendy toys and gadgets to find enduring goods that are union made, or perhaps gift cards for union-productions, such as movies or sporting events, or union made food stuff — there are still many union-made candies, baked goods, spirits and specialty items.
Buy Union!
