Look for the Made by Union Label

Becoming a union member was the quickest way to make a decent wage. Everybody wanted union membership. Easy credit made everything affordable and higher prices for union made goods and services were easily overlooked. Buying the union label was patriotic because it supported a higher standard of living for Americans. That was the way things were for decades. But the U.S. is now going through a recession and the consumer is becoming extremely price conscious and searching for bargains. Goods and services without union labor are cheaper and therefore more desirable. Unless the consumer is willing to pay the higher cost of goods and services the union worker will soon become extinct. Millions of former union members will then be forced to renegotiate their salaries on an individual basis.
Let us hope the economy recovers and the union label will fly high again.
