With the nation’s unemployment rate at the highest level in more than 25 years and U.S. manufacturing jobs especially hard hit, it is more important than ever for consumers to buy union-made products.
The AFL-CIO Union Label and Service Trades Department (UL&STD) is launching its annual Union Label Week, beginning Labor Day through Sept. 12 to remind people that union-made goods are high in quality and help support middle-class communities.
UL&STD President Richard Kline says buying union-made goods helps the entire country.
“Many Americans are hurting in this economy. That’s why it’s more important than ever to support union families by looking for union goods and services. By doing so, you can ensure that the hard-earned money you spend will reward employers who act with integrity, not runaway manufacturers and offshore employers.
“When you buy union, you not only get the highest quality goods and services, but you also help maintain good union wages and benefits that sustain the quality of life in U.S. communities.”
Even in these tough times, we’ve all got to buy essentials like new clothes and supplies for children going to school. Some of us may even need a new car, tools, appliances, furniture or hardware. No matter what you need to buy, Kline says, the main thing is to look for the union label.
“Support quality union jobs, support integrity, and support your community. Make smart decisions about how you spend your hard-earned money and look for union-made choices.”
