Support Workers' Rights and the Student-Labor Solidarity!

Note: reprint from CIW & USAS

United Students Against Sweatshops is a diverse network of student organizers concerned with the rights and well being of workers everywhere. There are several cornerstones to our work. The sweat-free campus campaign supports strategic international campaigns to respect garment workers’ rights. USAS plays a key role in the success of these global campaigns. And while USAS made its name fighting sweatshops, we are committed to fighting labor exploitation of all kinds, and so USAS now coordinates a successful national campus living wage campaign! Campus affiliates are organizing with workers and unions for living wages, the right to organize, and affordable health care. USAS also coordinates anti-oppression organizing and campaigns to support farmworkers. Finally, our summer internship program places students abroad with worker rights organizations. We have contacts on over 300 campuses around the country, and thousands of active students leading efforts on campuses for social justice.
