Women as Buyers and Employers urged by Newark Union Bulletin
The Newark Union Labor Bulletin argues that women, as family shoppers, are buyers and employers. If they demand the union label on goods, shopkeepers must buy union labeled items and hire union workers. This would curb sweatshops and child labor, benefiting all involved and urging women to act on these words.
