Support good jobs while you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day

The following is from Labor 411 and the AFL-CIO:

St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Saturday this year which means a full weekend day of pre-spring reveling. Whether you’ll be celebrating at home or perhaps hitting a pub with friends, consult Labor 411’s beer list before your revels begin. In the spirit of the occasion, we’ve added a selection of whiskeys as well. Every product on this list is made by manufacturers who treat their workers fairly. By supporting them, you help create good jobs and strengthen the middle class, and that’s no blarney!
