Wednesday, December 13, 2006 -- You’re in a department store looking for that perfect gift. You look high and low but everything seems to have a tag that says “Made in China” or is sold by anti-union companies that treat their workers in ways that make Ebenezer Scrooge look like a New Age sensitivity trainer.

Fear not, holiday shopper. There are ways to buy union and be union and keep your inner Grinch at bay. From quality vehicles and modular homes to sports equipment, shoes, toys and games, there are plenty of opportunities to delight your family and friends and receive one big “Ho, ho, ho” from your UAW brothers and sisters.
Of course, there’s no better way to show your union holiday spirit than by parking a UAW-built vehicle under your tree. You can easily find out which ones are made by union workers. Just look for 2007 Union-Made Cars and Trucks on our home page at:
