In addition to our support for Entropy's Guide To Fair Trade, SAWU is now petitioning the University of Maryland to join the Worker Rights Consortium

For more information on what the WRC is, please visit httphttp://www.workersrights.org

We are looking for Student Groups and everybody else to sign on to our letter, to be delivered to the University Administration.

THIS IS THE FINAL VERSION!

We, the undersigned student groups, faculty members, and campus leaders support a sweatshop-free University of Maryland.

We understand that the University already has a Code of Conduct that outlines the necessary conditions for the workers who make Maryland licensed clothing. However, no adequate mechanism exists to ensure these conditions are met.

For this reason, we call on the University's Trademark and Licensing Department to join over 100 other colleges and universities by affiliating with the Workers' Rights Consortium (WRC), an independent non-profit organization that monitors the working conditions of factories worldwide. The WRC will help ensure that manufacturers of University of Maryland apparel respect basic human rights, and that workers have a voice for lodging complaints.

Once affiliated, the WRC will report its findings back to the University, publicly, where a committee of faculty, administrators and students will determine if specific factories meet the University's Code of Conduct.

By standing up for workers' rights, the University of Maryland can help protect the reputation that the incredible academic and athletic successes these last few years have brought. We hope the University will remain on the cutting edge by joining the WRC and promoting civic engagement and social responsibility.
