Happy Union Fourth of July

 

Greetings!

 

This week we are celebrating America's birthday! There are several reasons for working families to stand up and cheer this Fourth of July - from promising manufacturing news to passage of the transportation bill that will fix our crumbling infrastructure with good-paying construction jobs to passage of the Affordable Healthcare Act.

So fire up that union-made Weber grill, throw on some union dogs and burgers and set off a few fireworks in honor of the latest improvements that will make our country even better! And for that summer afternoon in the park, don't forget to check out our list of everything you'll need for that great American game of baseball at your local diamond, union style!

Happy 4th of July all!

 

                                                            In solidarity,

                                                            Labor 411

"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."
