Thanksgiving will be here soon, and it’s important to recognize the working people who make this holiday happen. First responders who will be on-call and ready to save lives, grocery and retail workers pulling extra hours to prepare for the onslaught of customers, transit workers to provide safe rides home, and the union members who make cutlery, flatware, food, and beverages that our Thanksgiving traditions are built upon to name a few.
This year make your Thanksgiving dinner a union-made meal. Support the members of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers (BCTGM); the Glass, Molders, Pottery, Plastics and Allied Workers (GMP); the Machinists (IAM); UNITE HERE; the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW); the United Steel Workers (USW); the United Farm Workers (UFW); and the Teamsters (IBT).
