NEW Sweat-Free Campus Campaign!
United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS) – an international network of student-labor activists — has developed a new plan for colleges and universities to require licensees such as Nike, Reebok, Adidas, Champion to exclusively produce collegiate apparel at “sweat-free” factories. USAS defines “sweat-free” as those factories in which workers’ right to organize is respected, and workers earn a living wage. On September 28th, students at 40 major colleges and universities will be demanding that their schools accept responsibility for the improvement of wages and working conditions for the garment workers who produce their college-logo t-shirts, sweatshirts, and caps.
