Imagine a world where everyone who chooses to is able to go to college; a world where workers on our campuses and in our communities have a voice about the conditions in which they work every day; a world where the fruits and vegetables we eat are picked by workers who earn a living wage; a world where we can proudly wear our university apparel, knowing the workers that made our clothing were paid fairly and afforded the basic rights of breaks, safe working conditions and an 8 hour work day. Cesar Chavez and Martin Luther King, Jr. both imagined a world like this.
From March 27-April 4, 2007, students and workers join together to celebrate the lives of Cesar Chavez and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and to continue their work to build a better future. Join us as we demand:
-- An end to worker intimidation and a fair process for workers to join unions, including passage of the Employee Free Choice Act
-- Living wages for all campus employees
-- University codes of conduct that support workers' rights both on campus and overseas
-- And MUCH MORE!
