If we don't support the Unions first here! there is No hope of ever getting fair trade for the rest of the workers around the world. I buy Union all ways and Fair trade when I can. I Vote with my dollars sadly they are so few in number. but every Penny counts.

It is interesting that you mention Hershey when their 300-plus student workers are still on strike after receiving unfair treatment. Since they are student workers, they aren't unionized--but they are still being treated unfairly by their employers. I don't think we should be supporting Hershey products at this time.

I would like to see more information about what products are Union and Made in America (clothing, etc.). Meanwhile, I believe I use most, if not all, of the above mentioned candy items.

Yes, this IS an important list to use, but, I must agree with Nancy's comment regarding FAIR TRADE CHOLATES, and TEAS AND COFFEES for that matter! If not, we should lobby these companies to do so--it IS a social justice issue which we SHOULD support!

It's a handy list to have - BUT do they use Fair Trade chocolate? A lot of the chocolate originates in countries that use child and/or slave labor.

I'm printing this and posting it in my pantry-- candy is a nice treat all year long, especially if it's union made!
