It’s almost Halloween, and you know what that means: buying tons of candy.
But why give your money to a company that treats its workers like Oompa-Loompas? They were slaves who got paid in beans, remember! (Don’t be fooled by their catchy songs; that’s just a show they put on for the boss. You should hear the things they say about him in the break room.)
UnionPlus has a great list of yummies made by members of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union (BCTGM), the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), and the United Farm Workers of America (UFW). Among them are:
- Hershey’s Kisses
- Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bars
- Kit Kat Bars
- Caramello
- Cadbury Fruit & Nut Bar
- Jelly Bellies
- Red Vines
- Jawbreakers
- NECCO Wafers
- Clark Bar
- Ghirardelli squares
- Baby Ruth
- Butterfinger
(Note that some of these are made both in union shops in the U.S.A. and non-union shops in Mexico; the list has details on which ones you’ll want to check the country of origin labels on.)
It’s perfect for printing out and taking with you on your big candy run. So what are you waiting for? Get the list here.
