Love with a Union Label
Wednesday, February 12, 2014(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
This
Friday, you can give your valentine some union-made sweets, toast your love with
champagne that carries a union label or touch up your pheromones with some
smell-good union-made scents. It turns out there are many union-made treats you
can give out on Valentine's Day. The iconic Necco candy Sweethearts conversation
hearts are made by members of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and
Grain Millers (BCTGM). Several
familiar sparkling libations such as J. Roget and Tott’s are produced by the
United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW). Plus, if you're looking for flowers this week, Union Plus is offering a 25% discount through
Teleflora. Here are some more products compiled by our friends
at Labor
411, the union business directory from the Los Angeles County Federation of
Labor, made by union members. Want info on more union-made
