One of the best ways to represent yourself as a union member is to support your brothers and sisters in other unions. The labor movement is witnessing two high profile strikes right now, and you may be asking yourself “how can I help?”. As you may know, strikes can take a costly toll on members and their families. One way to show your support is to donate to strike funds nationwide to help alleviate some of the financial burden they might be experiencing.

It is important to note that neither SAG-AFTRA, nor the Writers Guild have called for boycotts of any type, so it is OK to continue enjoying your favorite shows and movies. Doing so will actually help the strikers show that there is demand for their product.

UPS

UPS is not currently on strike, however, they have taken a strike authorization. This post will be updated if a strike is called.
