No doubt during this upcoming long July 4 weekend—maybe at a backyard gathering of your family and friends or during the World Cup games—you’ll likely feel like a little snack. Well, here’s a list of union-made-in-America snacks—from the salty, like Lay’s Potato Chips and Cheez-Its, to the sweet, such as Cracker Jacks and Oreos. And for those of you trying to keep the weight off, we have some more healthy options, too.
These treats are made by members of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers (BCTGM), United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), Machinists (IAM) and United Farm Workers (UFW) and Teamsters (IBT). For more union-made-in-America products, be sure and visit the Labor 411’s website and the Union Label & Service Trades Department.
