Just such an order book will be available next week on a trial basis to some 100,000 members of the AFL-CIO. Created by Marc Schechtman, 35, general manager of a union shopping distributor in Fairfield, Iowa, the Union Label Shopper lists some 45 brand- name products, ranging from Dingo boots to West Bend appliances to ProctorSilex cookware, all at about 10% off store prices...
