The Daily Caller

 

Halloween is less than a week away and, just in time for Americans stocking up on candy, the AFL-CIO has identified the most union-friendly candy available.

Yes, there is such a thing as union-approved candy.

“If you want your Halloween to be all treats and no tricks, make sure all your candy is union-made, made in America,” Jackie Tortora writes at the AFL-CIO’s blog, linking to Local 144’s “Buy Union Directory.”

Tortora provides a list of union-approved candy highlights from the directory including Baby Ruths, Butterfingers, Caramellos, Hershey’s Candy Corn Kisses, Hershey’s Extra Dark Chocolate bars, Hershey’s Hugs, Hershey’s Kisses, Hershey’s Nuggets, Jelly Belly candies, Kit Kats, Laffy Taffy, Mike and Ikes, Rolos, Super Ropes, Tootsie Rolls and Trolli candies.

SNIP:  I’m sure we can finish the list…

    Hmmm I do not see M&M/Mars/Snickers on there. Well, I know which ones that I will support more often than Hershey’s. If the unions want me to support their operations, I will be damned sure that I do the opposite.

    I am having 2 lines, one for Obama voting parents kids and one for Romneys.

    Romneys line will have the normal treats given out at the FreeHouse, but the Obama line will have rice cakes and the like, and when that line runs out of stuff they will have to take something from the other kids in that line.
