What For: This is a charity event so the union artist would have to have a waiver signed by their union so that we are not guilty of disrespecting our own members. This is a wonderful opportunity to be a part of an event that will educate and inform the public at large, as well as organized labor about the importance of buying American Made products and exactly what products are made in the good ol’ USA.
Artists Unite: It is up to us to help ourselves and rebuild confidence in the products that we make by doing our part and participating in this endeavor. Naturally the artist are free to sell their merchandise.
