DESCRIPTION:United Students Against Sweatshops Worker Tour:\nMeet Workers who Sew UC 
 Davis T-shirts and Sweatshirts \nWhen: Thursday, November 11th, 7pm\nWhere: 
 131 Cowell Hall, UC Santa Cruz campus\nMaritza Vargas, who sews t-shirts, 
 sweatshirts and hoodies sold at the University Bookstore, will be on campus 
 today to talk about how her union has established living wage pay at the 
 groundbreaking Alta Gracia factory in the Dominican Republic where she 
 works, and the impact this has had on her community. She will be joined by 
 former Nike factory worker Gina Cano, who fought with her 1800 coworkers to 
 earn over $2 million in legally-mandated severance pay from Nike, as well 
 as well as paid job re-training and priority rehiring in other Nike 
 factories. Both women share their struggle to form unions and establish 
 fair pay and working conditions in the apparel industry, and discuss labor 
 rights in the apparel industry at large. This evening will be an incredible 
 opportunity to shorten the global supply chain by bringing students, 
 community activists, and workers together in person.
