hey, here’s a list of unionized goods and services for you to prioritize in your spending
you don’t have to be a political economist to know that with threats from #mairikkka (invasion, tariffs), climate breakdown, #BigCarbon, the wicked #CarneyCuts coming up to federal programs…one amazing thing to do, with very little effort, is to buy things made here by union workers
we buy things anyway
we want to improve our economic resilience
we want to support other people in our communities
we want to buy things that benefit workers, which unionized workplaces help accomplish
but it’s hard to do all the research to make sure our money doesn’t help impoverish others or bleed out of the country (the database website doesn’t note foreign ownership, but some of the brands will be obvious to you)
and it’s hard on your own to do all this research and filter by product or service, by city, etc.
luckily the Canadian Labour Congress has done all that for you!
go to there, isolate for your city, get familiar with what you could be buying
and I suspect you’ll also see lots of things you’re already buying that are made here by unionized workers!
