Labor 411 has the union info consumers need


When you buy American union-made products, it means the money you spend goes toward protecting working people. It helps working families earn a livable wage in safe conditions, provide health care for their families and create a better life for future generations.
When you buy Teamster-made products, you’re doing more than supporting working families. You’re supporting your Teamster brothers and sisters.

Labor 411 is making it easier for all Americans to support products and services made by American union members, and this week is “Support Teamsters Week” at the website. Here’s a little more about the group:

Labor 411 believes that working people deserve the support of their neighbors, communities and friends. By making the choice to spend our money on union-made goods and services that are made in our country by workers who are treated fairly, we are helping to protect the middle class, strengthen our national economy and build a stronger America. We call that ethical consumerism, and we hope you will join us in making the everyday decisions count…

A one-stop resource for people who want to buy union-made goods and services, Labor 411’s print and online directory provides greater visibility to union products and union-made goods and services and helps union decision makers ensure that their dollars and their values are connecting with the community at large. Distributed to over 17,000 union officers and staff, union-friendly vendors and powerful friends of organized labor, Labor 411's directory of union services reaches a committed and influential audience.
