A Union-Made Labor Day

Union-made cheeseburgerLabor Day is just a few days away. It’s a day on which we all celebrate our contributions as American workers and this year, Labor Day kicks off Union Label Week.

Here are some quick tips on how to celebrate labor the union way:

  • Fire up your Weber grill, made by the International Union of Allied Novelty and Production Workers.
  • Grill some all-beef Butterball patties. If you are in the mood for hot dogs and brats, Oscar Meyer, Nathan’s and Johnsonville have what you are looking for.
  • Add some Heinz Ketchup, Gulden’s Mustard and Vlasic pickles.
  • Throw it all on a Wonder Bread bun.
  • Funyuns, Fritos and Doritos are good side options.
  • Wash it all down with a cold Budweiser or any other union-made brew. And there’s Minute Maid juices for the younger set.

Visit the Facebook page of the Union Label and Services Trades Department for more union-made options, and have a happy and safe Labor Day.
