With apologies to Nancy Sinatra, these boots are made for working. And, they’re made by union members in Wausau, Wis.
The American-made, union-made boots by United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) locals 668 and 717 members at the Weinbrenner Shoe Co., are available online at TheUnionBootPro.com—and union members get a 27 percent discount. Walter Brown, owner of BootPro Solutions LLC, says roughly 98 percent of the work boots sold in the United States are made overseas, primarily China.
“As other well-known brands move operations offshore, the UnionBootPro has become the go-to website for union members to find the work boots they demand—boots made by American workers.”
