Our top priority is to order from USA-made, union shops whenever possible.

Ordering Priorities:

1. Top Priority: USA-made, union shop.

2. Next Best: USA-made.

3. Acceptable If Necessary: Assembled or printed in the USA.

4. Last Resort: Other sources.

When a USA-Made Option Isn’t Available:

1. Check Union Shops First. Even if the product isn't fully made in the USA, a union shop may still assemble, print, or finish it domestically.

2. Look for Assembled in the USA.  Some products contain imported parts but are built by American workers.

3. Prioritize Ethical Sources. If an international order is necessary, choose companies that uphold fair labor standards.

4. Talk to Vendors. Some suppliers may be able to produce a USA-made version upon request.

5. Support Pro-Union Businesses. If no USA-made option is available, prioritize companies that respect workers’ rights and fair wages.

By following these guidelines, we uphold our union’s values while ensuring we get the products we need.
