Looking to buy gifts for the holidays AND support workers? We’ve got some ideas for you!
Naturally, we recommend starting off at the Jobs with Justice store, where you can find union-made t-shirts, hoodies, water bottles, buttons, stickers, and even yo-yos with a pro-worker message.
For union made apparel, UNITE HERE keeps a list of companies with the union label, as does the UFCW.
Sweatfree Communities and the International Labor Rights Forum have put together the “2010 Shop with a Conscience Consumer Guide” with clothing sourced from sweat-free factories throughout the world.
Wondering what to serve at the holiday party? Here’s a list of union-made sweets & treats and other food and beverages.
If you’re traveling over the holidays, you can search here for a union hotel.
If you are a union member yourself, save money on flowers, computers, phones, and more at the Union Plus website.
