WHY ARE UNION MADE & AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS IMPORTANT TO ME?

We as Americans have an eroding manufacturing base in this country and with the current administration in the White House; it gets worse on a daily basis.  Tax breaks are given to move jobs overseas.  Do you think this may be one reason that is so difficult to find American made/union made products?  We Do!!

What as a union member can you do to change this?  One is call your senators and demand keeping jobs in America.  However, one that is even easier than that is putting pressure on the retailers.  Look for American made products and if the retailer does not have it let your voice be heard.  At the April union meeting, we left certificates that looked like a twenty-dollar bill.  They explain that I came into your store looking to buy a United States made--------.I could not purchase it but I look forward to doing business with you in the future when you have American made products. This is an example of how as union members and consumers we can put pressure on the retailers to give us the opportunity to buy American made/Union made products.

Remember we all have a much better life style than the average American due to the public buying American made/Union made products.  Therefore, we need to start to look for the label!!

Also with the trying times, we are going through with the local agreement …SUPPORT EACH OTHER.  Being brothers and sisters is more than just words!!!  God Bless our Shop Committee.  Thank you and keep up the good work.  We need to show there is no division in Local 31 that we have people from all over the country but we are all LOCAL 31. 

God Bless and Solidarity forever

Your Union Label Committee
