“Look for the union label!” Remember that little ditty on TV that promoted consumption of union-made goods and products? It’s good advice, whether you’re purchasing a car or appliance, clothing, food or drinks. Consumers have tremendous power to affect the common good by focusing their buying habits on union-made, union-grown, union-marketed products. Employers will eventually become more favorable to unionization when they see their unionized competition is gaining on them owing to popular favor.
