Olympic Gold
Greetings!
 It's great to be an American during the Olympics - all that patriotism bursting forth every time our athletes take to the starting blocks. This Olympics the stars and stripes are coming out particularly strong.
The USA women's gymnastics team has rocked the world, first with the team winning the gold in near-perfect form, and today, the adorable Gabby Douglas taking top honors in the all-around. And let's not forget our swimmers, including surprise gold medalist Missy Franklin and the incomparable Michael Phelps, who added three more medals to his collection, making him the most decorated Olympian of all time. Dozens of other Americans have taken to the podium after proving that the United States is still the country to beat. This is the season to proclaim: America rocks!
This is the perfect time to take that high, that momentum, that inspiration and turn it into something positive to support the USA and our economy as it slowly, steadily turns the corner. We here at Labor 411 are not saying you have to go out and win the equivalent of 20 medals, but buying union and supporting good middle class jobs whenever possible is a good start. Try some of our suggestions from our Union Date Night spotlight, below. The unsung heroes that are our union workers deserve just as much praise and reward as gold-medal Olympians. Go USA!
In solidarity,
Labor 411
