Make it a Union-Made Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. Why not give a gift that supports good jobs too? We’ve put together a great list of union-made chocolate, candy, and champagnes so that you can vote with your wallet when shopping for your sweetheart. The workers at these brands are employed under union contracts, ensuring that they have a voice on the job and receive fair wages and benefits. Love is in the air — and now in your wallet too!

Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us at Labor 411.
