UM Students Arrested After Anti-Sweatshop Sit-In - 04/05/07

By Doug Cunningham

A dozen University of Michigan students were arrested in a sit-in at the university president's office. The university rejected the students' demand that it stop using sweatshops to make university branded clothing. Molly Glasgow, Midwest Regional Coordinator for United Students Against Sweatshops, says the students want the University of Michigan to join the Designated Supplier Program.

[Molly]: "It's a program to have all university apparel made in factories that provide suitable wages and allow unions to form."
