    Like the jingle, union label fades away By Gregory Cancelada and Jack Naudi, STLtoday
    'First of all, union-made in the USA is No. 1. If you can't find union-made, at least buy American-made,' said Charles E. Mercer, president of the AFL-CIO's Union Label and Service Trades Department. 'We say it in the same breath, the same sentence.'

    The AFL-CIO admits that a tough task confronts consumers when they search for union-made goods and service, so it uses the annual Union-Industries Show to highlight such products. The event, which started in 1938, is being held this weekend in St. Louis.

    'Do you know that Midas mufflers are union-made? Do you know that Colgate toothpaste is union-made?' Mercer said.
