Thanks to Jeff Wiggins for sending us this. 

Now that we are finally starting to put the pandemic in our rear-view mirror, many of us are ready to celebrate. And there’s no occasion more festive than America’s birthday – the 4th of July. Whether you will be keeping it low-key at home or joining a large gathering with family and friends, remember to make the ethical choice for all of your Independence Day essentials. As you stock up on food, drinks, supplies, and sunscreen, go for the brands that are made by ethical companies who treat their workers fairly and give them a voice on the job.

Labor 411 wishes you a safe and happy holiday weekend and urges you to celebrate safely. Let’s all work to build a stronger America.
