Buy Union for the Holidays

Enjoy high quality food and wine this holiday season, while knowing that the workers who picked it for you will have a happy holiday too. UFW contracts provide good wages and paid holidays for farm worker families. When you buy these union labels you help make union companies successful, and encourage non-union companies to get with the program.

When you go to your next holiday gathering, why not put a smile on the hosts’ faces with a thoughtful gift of union wine?

Union-grown produce makes a great side dish for your holiday table.

Actually, this post is about capitalism at its best.

You can vote with your pocketbook or wallet, you know. If you could choose between products made or produced by companies that care for their workers, provide benefits and so on or products from companies that mistreat workers - wait a minute...why am I saying "if?" You *can* make a choice.

There's nothing socialist about it.

Nut job.
