Happy Birthday America!

 

Greetings!

 

What better time to give a shout out to all things American-made than on Independence Day? At Labor 411, we make it a point to celebrate all things union-made in the USA. When we can't find a something we're looking for that's union-made, good ol' made in the USA still gives us plenty of reason to celebrate.

July 4th is right around the corner and with a resurgence in the onshoring effort, American manufacturing looks to be on the up and up. Efforts to highlight this trend can be seen on the Alliance for American Manufacturing's website, ShouldBeMadeInAmerica.com, ABC's ongoing "Made in America" segment and the AFL-CIO's new "Your Favorite Made in America Items" series.

Also, don't forget to enter in this month's raffle. June is almost over, so enter here to win a sweet $150 gift card for Wolverine footwear. Wolverine's Plainsman, Northman, 1000 Mile, and No. 1883 lines are all made in the USA by members of UFCW.

Happy birthday, America!

 

                                                            In solidarity,

Product Spotlight:

Union Cookout (Pt. 2)

 

We couldn't resist. The Fourth of July is the biggest and baddest of all barbecue bonanzas, and so we decided the Union Cookout needed a sequel. Labor 411 is here with our follow-up to last year's grill special that includes some of the best union-made picnic and party goods around.

Words of Wisdom

"Employers and employees alike have learned that in union there is strength, that a coordination of individual effort means an elimination of waste, a bettering of living conditions, and is in fact, the father of prosperity."

 -Franklin D. Roosevelt

 

Past Raffle Winners

"Labor 411 is a welcome reminder; every day we get bombarded with advertisements for so many things and then I see the Labor 411 e-news and it's like, 'Yeah, this is what's really important.' I especially love the holiday specific Union-made product lists."

"I like Labor 411's recommendations and themed lists of union-made products because they really stick in your mind that way. Unions are being threatened now more than ever, so it's important to support the companies and the workers that are making those products."
