Union Label Week 2009, Sept. 7 -12
Labor Day has traditionally been the time to remember working men and women. It is a time to remind our friends, families and communities that the union-made products are the smartest buy. Whether the services come from the private or public sector, union-made goods support the middle-class communities.
