Purchasing power and union labels in labor ethics
A pro labor essay argues that wage earners should spend only union labeled goods to support union jobs, higher wages, and improved conditions, claiming every purchase acts as a vote for unionism. It contrasts responsible employer spend use with worker purchases and highlights Brockton shoemakers and union labeling outcomes. It also notes a St Louis Southwestern railroad settlement ending a strike and conditions for Tillman’s reinstatement.
