Labels would be better but US producers aren’t going to label their products voluntarily are they.
It’s a great way to communicate foreign products to other shoppers and remind people that buying local is still important after the news cycle moves on.
It may be somewhat inconvenient for employees but that will financially inconvenience employers and encourage them to discontinue more foreign product lines.
Exactly, especially jobs where you don’t have to directly interact with customers or management while doing it. I loved stock room work for the same reason
Labels are not always sufficient. Labels for Country of Origin or Made in Europe (or China) can still mean that the profits go to USA, would for me also be a reason to look for alternatives.
seems like a pretty bad idea, i think this is just gonna inconvenience the workers. officially “made in EU/USA” labels would be better imo

They used to, proudly. But that was months ago.
I can’t speak for every worker, but I was a grocery clerk. Facing is a regular part of the job, and it’s for a good cause. It wouldn’t bother me

Many of my local stores are using red maple leafs and changing the barcode names to indicate Canadian made products.
Write your regultors, ask them to make the country of orientation a mandatory labeling requirement. Make it big and obvious.
