Last Day to Shop for a Union Feast!
Happy Union Thanksgiving!
The Meal of the Year is here! This is family time, and in the labor movement we know all about the importance of family. The crazy fun of Black Friday follows, so don’t forget to buy union made when you can. And while some stores want to open on Thanksgiving Day this year, we say family, friends and those we care about are worth more than a few extra hours of shopping.
We’ve put together a Thanksgiving shopping list for a great union-made spread. And we realize it can sometimes be difficult to find union made for everything on your list, so another great way to go union is to patronize union grocery stores. So enjoy the day! And we’ve got one more recipe — for stout cake — that you’re going to want to add to the table this year in our Product Spotlight below.
