Make It a Union-Made Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is a little more than a week away (May 12), so you have no excuse for waiting until the last minute to find a nice tribute for Mom that also carries the union label. Our friends at Labor 411 , the union business directory from the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor , can help you out.
If you want to go the traditional route with some top-of-the-line chocolates, take a look at these from the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers ( BCTGM ) and United Food and Commercial Workers ( UFCW ). If she deserves a little pampering, try one of these health and beauty products made by UFCW and UAW members.
