| Does anyone here focus on Non-Union made products? (Posted on 11/16/12 at 8:23 am)
After reading about Hostess and other companies, I'm seriously thinking of doing this. I know most Toyotas and Hondas are made by Non-Union workers. Along with Coors and Blue Moon beer.

Interesting idea, but doubt it would ever make an impact. Kind of like the "boycotts" of gas stations on a certain day. I hate unions by the way, but just don't see it doing much.

Just pick the best product for you at the lowest cost.
The market will (mostly) sort it out.

So the cheaper products are usually made by non-union workers?

I've been thinking about starting to try and do this I'm just not sure if it's worth it or not

I try to buy local where I can, other than that I don't do any of these "boycotts."

Where do I get a list of products made by non-union companies?
Of course, I don't have a huge issue with private sector unions ... but, public sector unions need to be abolished....yesterday.

There are no labor unions in China, in fact its expressly prohibited by the Chinese government.

When I drank beer I only drank Coors because it was non union.
When advocates tried to promote a boycott of child sweatshops I only bought clothes from Asian countries that used child sweatshops. Kids gotta eat.
