Denver's Grandest New Year 's Eve Party!

By James Parks, Dec 12, 2010

This holiday season, union families can use their power to help keep good union jobs in the community by purchasing union-made goods and services. The AFL-CIO Union Label & Service Trades Department (UL&STD) has compiled a list of union-made products you can buy and another list of products and services that the AFL-CIO has approved for boycott.

Start your shopping list with a visit to the Union Label website, www.unionlabel.org, and click on Search for Union Products to see if a product is union made and what union produces it. If you can't find what you're looking for there, move on to the websites of individual unions that show up as links on the page.

Another great place to find a wide assortment of union-made products is the AFL-CIO Online Store, where you will find unique apparel, buttons, mugs, decals and other outstanding union items. 

If you're buying a wireless phone, check out AT&T's Mobility, the only union wireless company. About 42,000 Communications Workers of America (CWA) members work at Mobility, providing quality service along with the very latest in technology.

In the market for a new car? Check out the UAW's Do Buy list for union-made cars here.  

If you're traveling this holiday season, find out which hotels are on the AFL-CIO boycott list here along with dozens of entertainment and recreation services where the federation has endorsed a boycott.

UL&STD President Rich Kline says buying union-made products is the best way to help improve the economy:

Still looking for the perfect gift for your family and friends this holiday season? Visit AFM Gear for great holiday gifts that show your union pride. We are now featuring new merchandise, including men's and women's sport shirts, T-shirts, jackets, and mugs. Order now to ensure delivery before the holidays!

All proceeds from merchandise sales go toward the AFM TEMPO Fund, which supports Members of Congress who fight for issues that are important to musicians and the arts. AFM cannot use general treasury funds for political donations, so we need member donations to the AFM TEMPO Fund.

Your contribution can help make a difference, so make the most out of your holiday shopping this year.

Sincerely and fraternally yours,

Ray Hair, International President
