Demands are for UC to go SWEAT FREE!
UC R has the potential to set a new standard that could potentially spread and force large, greedy public establishments like the University of California system to buy ONLY SWEAT FREE clothing for their workers.
This event organized by USAS (united students to end sweatshops) and many workers in solidarity are visible and active (unofficially, i believe) from the UC workers' union--AFSCME. (this is not the teachers' union--this is the lower wage, food and service workers union)
