WASHINGTON, D.C. — Looking for a union-made Valentine card for your Union Maid?
Teamsters can support their brothers and sisters in the Graphic Communications Conference (GCC) by looking for cards they make with the “GCC” or “Allied Printing Trades” label.
And more than 500 Teamsters make American Greetings cards in Kentucky. Teamsters have represented these workers for more than 25 years.
