Memorial Day, AKA the unofficial start to summer, is part of a three-day weekend filled with warm days, gathering with friends, beaches (if you have them) and plenty of food. On this day, we remember the servicemen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our great nation. As you fire up the grill and gather the snacks for your holiday feast, consider making the ethical union choice. The products listed below are made by companies that treat their employees with respect and give them a voice on the job. For a full list, check out the Labor 411 direct online.

Happy Memorial Day and let’s all work together to build a stronger America.
