Union Label Committee
An effective Union Label Committee supports the labor movement by informing and educating members about the products we buy as consumers. This committee helps to emphasize the importance of supporting those goods and services produced by union members under union-won working conditions. The Union Label Committee keeps members informed of union products and availability of these products in the community.
This committee also helps bring to the attention of our members those products produced under nonunion conditions and by anti-labor manufacturers. Committee members identify items that are on the "boycott" list and encourage rank and file support of these boycotts. The Union Label Committee helps to emphasize the importance of supporting those goods and services produced by union members under union-won working conditions.
The work of this committee need not be limited to personal consumption. As citizens, we can demand that tax dollars be spent on quality, union-made products including cars, buses and the like. We work to promote the union label. When you see a union label whether it is on a product, on a union shop or union store placard in a place of business, or on a union button worn by a worker - it signifies quality goods and services. Moreover, these emblems demonstrate that the employees who make the product or provide the service are skilled workers who are treated fairly and decently by their employers.
Union labels are symbols of quality and fair play and are found everywhere, from washing machines to baked goods, from shoes to skyscrapers, from clothing to barber shops. They are evidence of quality goods and services produced by proud American worker.
