Unions Buy Local Campaign

PASS THE BUCK (the "Union Buck", that is)
Beacuse NOW is the time to show the business community who has the real purchasing power in Rhode Island.

Union members throughout Rhode Island will kick off their ‘Unions Buy Local’ campaign in support of Rhode Island small businesses by conducting Cash Mobs in cities and towns across Rhode Island. The campaign is designed to encourage union members to support local small businesses within their communities. It will run from Mother’s Day weekend until Father’s Day weekend.

  • RI’s 100,000 active and retired union members, including classroom teachers, police officers, firefighters, state employees and other union members, are major supporters of small businesses.

  • Union members, and the middle class in general, have much greater purchasing power than wealthy individuals.
