MERRILL, Wis., Sept. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Weinbrenner Shoe Company, Inc., the parent company of the iconic Thorogood® brand, proudly reaffirms its longstanding commitment to supporting union labor as it breaks ground on a new state-of-the-art facility in Marshfield, Wisconsin. Consistent with our heritage of producing Union-made in the USA boots for hardworking men and women, the company continues to prioritize partnerships with unionized trade contractors during the construction of this project.

Where union labor was an available option, union firms captured nearly 80% of the contracts. This achievement reflects our dedication to supporting American workers and ensuring that union labor remains a cornerstone of our manufacturing process.

"We manufacture Thorogood boots for America's working men and women and believe in supporting the union laborers that are the foundation of our company," said President Jeff Burns.
