No matter what you celebrate or how, we want to help you find the perfect gift for your friends and family that you can also feel good about buying. The gifts listed in our guide are made by workers who stood together for family-supporting wages and good benefits.
And these workers’ contracts helped other nonunion workers, too. When union members secure higher wages, it influences employers in the same industry to raise wages for nonunion employees in order to stay competitive. When you buy union, you’re supporting workers everywhere—and lifting their communities.
This is a big, comprehensive guide with a newly added video game section, in light of big recent organizing wins in the video game industry, as well as our very own AFL-CIO Union Store.
Here is the full list of categories in the 2024 guide:
- Apparel and Accessories
- Beauty Products
- Big Spender
- Books, Stationery Stores and Subscriptions
- Games and Toys
- Homemade Gifts
- Kitchen and Homeware
- Sports Equipment
- Stocking Stuffers
- Tickets
- Video Games
- Wine, Beer and Spirits
Happy shopping! And remember: If you’re shipping gifts this year, our letter carriers, mail handlers and postal workers at the U.S. Postal Service are union members, too.
Happy holidays to you and yours, from our union family.
In Solidarity,
Team AFL-CIO
