These commercials from the International Ladies Garment Workers were best known for this famous song, written by Paula Green in 1975.
Look for the union label
When you are buying a coat, dress or blouse.
Remember somewhere our union's sewing
our wages going to feed the kids and run the house,
We work hard but who's complaining.
Thanks to the I.L.G. we're paying our way.
So, always look for the union label,
it says we're able
to make it in the U.S.A.
**This is from my 1976-1979 Commercials Set**

@dchris1990 pretty sure we don't have a choice, it's not Americans it's American corporations that have made that choice for us

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. This makes me so sad as today almost every garment of clothing is made overseas by slave labor.

I always tear up when I hear this song! Even in the 70's when I was in my 20's tears would come to my eyes. I never knew why but I was thankful for the IBEW my Dad belonged to. It gave us a decent living and put me thru college. I could tell back then that this country was going down the tubes! Now I am in bankruptcy and foreclosure with no job - lost it to a foreigner - its a disgrace! We are being hosed!

the problem is Americans are willing to stiff people in Honduras, Bangledesh, and China, by buying cheap goods from countries that DONT allow their workers to unionize, bargain collectively against their greedy bosses, etc. If Americans, esp Democrats, cared for the poor of humanity, they wouldve tried to make a precondition to nations that want to trade with us: u have to give your workers the right to unionize, the right to have a voice, the right to be treated like humans.

@pete1729 Don't weep, support your unions. Give generously.

I nearly weep when I hear this simple song. Those people, and their jobs are probably long gone.
