Made in America: July 4 BBQ Shopping List
This is the weekend many of us will head to the stores to stock up on our July 4 supplies for the summer’s top cookout event. To celebrate the Fourth with a Made in America, union label, check out our union-made list below, compiled from the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers ( BCTGM ), the LA Labor 411's website , Union Plus and the United Food and Commercial Workers ( UFCW )
Michael Messina at Labor 411 reminds us that beyond our outdoor feast supplies, there are some other July 4 necessities that carry a union label, including American flags by Artflag and Annin Flagmakers, coolers by Igloo and Rubbermaid, the Weber Q series grill, sunscreen by Coppertone and Bain de Soleil and—punch up Toby Keith on the iPod—red Solo cups.
