Union Shop: Get Dad the Perfect Gift

https://unionshop.aflcio.org/

The Union Shop Online has the perfect gift for dad or grandad this Father’s Day, June 15. Give him a stylish silk tie—specially union-made for the AFL-CIO—featuring detail from “The Great Strike—Lawrence 1912,” a painting by famed labor artist and union organizer Ralph Fasanella.

The scene depicted on the tie captures the dramatic 63-day strike of 25,000 textile workers in Massachusetts who united to demand shorter hours with no speedups or pay cuts. Eventually, the mills surrendered and the workers assembled in Lawrence Common to celebrate.

Wearing the Fasanella tie is wearing a part of labor history. Each tie was made especially for the AFL-CIO and comes with a card describing Fasanella and his painting.

Not only that, the tie is union-made-in-the-USA by UNITE HERE Local 250C members at Kings Choice Neckwear. In operation in New York City since 1917, Kings Choice produces more than 40,000 fine quality, hand-tailored ties weekly—each and every one union-made.

Your dad also might like our union-made AFL-CIO golf balls, AFL-CIO polo shirts or a new baseball cap to let him show his union pride. You also can browse our wide selection of books and music to find the perfect Father’s Day present.

It’s all here at The Union Shop Online, along with plenty of other union-made-in-the-USA gifts for everyone in your family—including yourself!

To receive your gifts in time for Father’s Day, June 15, you must order soon, so don’t delay.

Happy shopping!
