We look forward to seeing you on the 10th!!!
With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, we might have that special someone in mind and will go out to get them some sweets on the 14th. If we have children, those class parties call for those adorable cards and as you guessed it, candy and chocolates. It’s simple to go out to the store and purchase candy. But why not buy Union made American sweets and treats for our loved ones and children? As Union Members, it is our duty to put our solidarity into action by supporting the industries, company’s and services across the United States that employ our union brothers and sisters. When you buy Union, you’re supporting good jobs in American communities just like yours, jobs that provide living wages and benefits, safe working conditions and dignity and respect for work.
Below is a list of choices of candy products made by members of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union (BCTGM); snack foods by members of the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW); or fruit and nuts from members of the United Farm Workers of America (UFW).
As with a lot of traditionally union-made products, more are being cross-produced (union-non-union; US-Mexico), so PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THE LABELS to ensure that your candy is union-made in the United States!
