Buy union: Support good jobs as you celebrate Labor Day

The following is from Labor 411:

Labor Day is the unofficial end of Summer, and it shouldn’t take a lot of… er… labor to make it one to remember. There are plenty of ways to commemorate the holiday, from enjoying a parade and chilling at the beach to hanging around the campfire and grilling at home. No matter what you choose to do, you’ll need some supplies to keep cool, and nothing is cooler than buying items made by ethical companies who treat their workers with respect through good wages and benefits. Stock up and enjoy your Labor Day. (Download the PDF.)
