Holiday shopping? Find that perfect gift that carries a union label and is made in America!

And if you're shipping any gifts this year, make sure to ship using a union carrier like the U.S. Postal Service or UPS.

If Starbucks baristas have to strike, we're striking too — with our wallets.

DON'T SHOP AT STARBUCKS if baristas are on strike. No contract, no coffee. Period. #NoContractNoCoffee

On #VeteransDay, it's important to take a moment to reflect on the service and sacrifices made by all of our veterans. And we are proud to announce a new initiative to honor them in Connecticut.

Today, we are excited to unveil the launch of the Union Veterans Council of CT!
