March 14th Press Coverage

The Associated Press wire was picked up by BusinessWeek.com, Forbes.com, Hemscott UK, MN Pioneer Press, WI Capital Times, and Channel 3000 Madison. There was a story on WKOW Channel 27 Madison and in Green Bay and Appleton. Both UW campus papers also covered the Student Labor Action Coalition (SLAC) action and the Chancellor's announcement. This is now national, and thanks to Hemscott UK, international news.

Here are the press links, or you can find them by searching "uw" and "adidas" on google news:

News coverage is great, but more student, community, and national pressure is necessary for the contract to be cut. To find out more about the Student Labor Action Coalition and United Students Against Sweatshops please visit:
