DC Students Demand Sweat-Free Apparel
Wednesday, April 4, 2007
Students across the District are participating in Sweat-free Days of Action as
part of the Student-Labor Week of Action to draw attention to the working
conditions for those who manufacture university apparel. George Washington
University held their event yesterday while George Mason University and the
University of Maryland College Park hold their event today. Students from all
three campuses are calling on their administrators to take action to ensure that
factories where university apparel is made respect codes of conduct that protect
basic workers’ rights. Several other DC campuses are also in the process of
working with administrators to win justice for workers around the
world.
