The Worker Rights Consortium in the Universities
For 10 years, activists of United Students Against Sweatshops have taken the fight for just working conditions into their own hands. U.S. and Canadian university students formed the network to pressure their schools to remove from campus stores all collegiate apparel made under sweatshop conditions. In 2000, USAS created the Worker Rights Consortium to monitor conditions in factories producing clothing for colleges. Over 170 schools now support the WRC. |
