Support Workers Rights in Factories Producing for the University of Michigan! |
|
Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit United Students Against Sweatshops.The short explanation of this alert was: A year and a half ago, students at the University of Michigan presented their admistration with a policy that would ensure that University of Michigan apparel was produced in facctories in which workers earned a living wage and had the right to form a union. Today, while union factories around the world have been forced to close their doors, the university refuses to take action. Students are currently sitting in to demand that the university adopt a policy that would ensure that wokers' rights are respected in the production of University of Michigan apparel. Send a message to the University of Michigan: a commitment to workers' rights means a commitment to factories in which the rights of workers are respected. Also, please call President Coleman and demand that the University of Michigan listen to students and adopt the DSP. President Coleman: 734-764-6270 My name is [INSERT NAME] and I am (from [CITY, STATE]) / (a student at [INSERT SCHOOL]).
Phone Script: I'm calling today to express my solidarity with the University of Michigan Sweatfree campaign. I do not support the use of sweatshops in the production of University of Michigan apparel. I urge you to take immediate action against sweatshops by negotiating with students to develop a solution. President Coleman must sign the Designated Suppliers Program TODAY. Be a leader and set an example against sweatshops now!
