During my daily political news run through, I read this article posted on Huff Post...

TL;DR version is all that push back against sweatshop and 'sweatshop-like' working conditions eventually was for naught. The corporate capitalist are still, and IMO will always be, in that fundamental mindset of PROFITS OVER PEOPLE. So I thought I would throw up a link of American made products for anyone who does not want to take part in 8y/o working 16 hour days for what I make in 5 minutes as an RN in US. Shameful shit...

P.S. Not 100% certain the sites list is up-to-date.

3. Here's another one. Lots of union-made clothing here.

5. I took a quick look at the American's Working Webiste. It's quite outdated.

It appears to rely on companies having to know the website is out there, and then request to list their company on it.

It's a good start, but today is the first I've ever heard of the site.
