Financial Issues for Local and State Union Officers:
Buy Union!
America@Work ‘08 |
The APWU urges all postal workers to purchase union-made products and services whenever possible.
Here are three useful Web sites that can help you buy what you need and have a powerful impact on jobs and the economy:
www.shopunionmade.org offers a wide array of goods and services, from books and music to gifts and housewares, 24 hours a day. To save you money, the Web site it offers Union Plus discounts exclusively to union members and their families.
www.unionlabel.org helps you determine which products and services support union labor — and those that do not. Union Label.org recently launched a new service that helps you locate union airlines, hotels, restaurants and car rental companies that employ union labor.
