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:  Notre Dame students are ending a five-day hunger strike today with a rally calling on the university to take concrete action against HEI Hotels and Resorts, a company in which the university is invested. Since fall of 2008, students have raised concerns about the unethical labor practices of HEI by leafleting, protesting, meeting with administrators and organizing teach-ins on campus with HEI hotel workers who are leading the struggle for justice at their workplace. Students argue that the way in which HEI treats its workers is in direct conflict with Catholic Social Teaching on workers' rights, including the right to dignity, respect, fair wages, and to organize. Notre Dame claims to uphold these teachings in its investment policy, but the administration has yet to take seriously the injustices facing HEI workers and has even disciplined students for handing out leaflets about the company. The hunger strike is a call for the university to uphold its professed Catholic mission in its investment practices.
