Scott Paper makes my TP. but I don't use any of those other items. Kimberly-Clark makes it and has a union group that I'd never heard of before, Steve, so I'm posting it here for all. It has 20 million workers in it:



UNI Global Union
, also called Union Network International

UNI Global Union is a global union federation for skills and services, gathering national and regional trade unions. It was launched on January 1, 2000, as Union Network International. Its more than 900 affiliated unions in 140 countries have 20 million members. The head office is in Nyon, near Geneva, Switzerland.

UNI was the result of the merger of four organisations: FIET (International Federation of Employees, technicians and managers), MEI (Media and Entertainment International), IGF (International Graphical Federation) and CI (Communications International, formally PTTI).

On March 2, 2009, it changed its name, to UNI Global Union. A new logo and website were launched for the occasion.
