The Union Label Committee supports the labor movement by informing and educating Members about the products we buy as consumers. This committee helps to emphasize the importance of supporting those goods and services produced by Union Members under union-won working conditions. The Union Label Committee keeps Members informed of Union products and the availability of these products in the community.
This committee also helps bring to the attention of our Members those products produced under non-union conditions and by anti-labor manufacturers. Committee members identify items that are on the "boycott" list and encourage rank and file support of these boycotts.
BUY UNION FOR THE HOLIDAYS!
With an array of greeting cards, games, clothes, books and music in stock, The Union Shop is the first stop for activists who want to buy union-made and social-justice oriented holiday gifts for their friends and families. To place orders, visit www.aflcio.org/shop or call 1-800-442-5645. Holiday shoppers also can give the gift of good jobs by buying union-made presents for the holidays during Buy Union Week, Nov. 26 - Dec. 5, spearheaded by the AFL-CIO's Union Label and Service Trades Department, which recently launched the all-union Internet shopping site www.ShopUnionMade.org. At the site, unionists can not only shop but also download publicity materials for Buy Union Week and send holiday e-cards with Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanza themes.
