The Union Advocate’s annual Buy Union edition comes out each year in June, when we celebrate the work union members across the Twin Cities do by encouraging consumers to buy the products union members make and the services they provide.
Whether you’re dining out at a restaurant, remodeling your home, planning a summer vacation or shopping for a new car, the union advantage is real. When you buy union, you support good jobs with good benefits – the kinds of jobs that keep our communities strong. You also can count on union workers to take pride in their craft and to do the job right the first time.
This page serves as a directory to the advertisers who supported our Buy Union edition in 2012. For information on advertising in the Advocate, check out our Advertising page or call Advocate Editor Michael Moore at 651-222-3787, extension 12.
