DESCRIPTION:United Students Against Sweatshops Worker Tour:\nMeet Workers who Sew UC 
 Berkeley T-shirts and Sweatshirts \nWhen: Wednesday, November 10th, 
 4pm\nWhere: 7th floor, Eshelman Building, UC Berkeley\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.\nhttp://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/18/business/global/18shirt.html
