[Corporations] Sweatshop sit-in underway at USC - calls needed!

[Ben Manski]

Hey everyone,

15 students at the University of Southern California have just entered 
their presidents office and are sitting in to demand that USC adopt the 
Designated Suppliers Program and affiliate with the Workers Rights 
Consortium.  This would result mean that only factories with democratic 
unions could make USC apparel.  Students at USC are asking that people 
call in to their President right now to demand that USC adopt these 
policies.  Here is a phone number and script.  Also, if you can forward 
this around and get everyone you know to participate that would be great.


President Sample (213) 740-2111

Hello, my name is ___________ and I am a ______________ at
____________. It is hard to believe that even though students have
been bringing the issue of USC's dependence on sweatshops to your
attention for the last eight years, USC has still not made a real
commitment to workers' rights. 8 years is far too long. Adopt the DSP
and affiliate with the WRC today!
