No sweatshops

This campaign seeks to pressure the State of Michigan to purchase all of its uniforms (e.g., for police, prison guards, prisoners) from nonsweatshop manufacturers. The delegation’s spokespeople were State Representative Fred Miller (chair of the House Labor Committee), Father Norman Thomas (chair of the SweatFree Committee for the Interfaith Committee on Worker Justice), and Dia Pierce (Political Director for UNITE-HERE in Michigan). The delegation also met with representatives from the Michigan Office of Management and Budget (OMB).[2]
