Start Your After-Christmas Shopping at The Union Shop Online™

So you thanked Aunt Tillie for the psychedelic tie and didn’t roll your eyes when you opened the fuzzy Batman slippers with blinking lights from your kids.

But if you cringe at the thought of day-after Christmas, door-buster crowds at the big-box stores and malls, you can flesh out your gift stash or get ahead of the birthdays on your gift list at the AFL-CIO The Union Shop Online.TM

It’s still winter out there and there is a wide range of warm weather gear, sweatshirts, fleece jackets and more. If you want to keep you noggin warm, there’s a nifty Working America knit ski cap.

For the kids—don’t hold the slippers against them—check out the picture book, Kid Blink Beats the World, by Don Brown. In the summer of 1899, hundreds of newsboys and girls who sold Randolph Hearst’s The Journal and Joseph Pulitzer’s The World on New York City streets went on strike over a penny. Led by Kid Blink and others, they refused to sell the papers, staged rallies and finally brought the newspapers to the negotiating table. Click here for more kids’ stuff.
