It’s almost that time of the year again when families get together for backyard grilling, warm weather, and fireworks. Unions and the idea of independence go hand-in-hand as workers gain more freedom and a voice by organizing their workplaces. With that in mind, we’ve put together a list of union-made July 4th drinks, snacks, and more so that you can support ethical companies that treat workers fairly while you shop for your July 4th get-together.

Have a great, long weekend from all of us at Labor 411.
