From page 1
- or enough to sustain a worker
and his or her family working no
more than 48 hours a week. The
consortium also conducts inspec-
tions of the factories.
The University currently moni-
tors labor practices through its
Vendor Code of Conduct, which
outlines labor standards on issues
such as discrimination, wages,
safety and unions.
After a SOLE campaign last year,
UniversityPresidentMarySue Cole-
man charged the Labor Standards
and Human Rights Committee with
reviewing the vendor code and the
Designated Suppliers' Program. In
a letter dated May 10 of last year,
Coleman accepted the committee's
recommendation not to adopt the
program. Instead, the committee
suggested strengthening the Uni-
versity's current vendor code.
The Sweatfree campaign main-
tains that the vendor code is not
strictly enforced.
"The mechanisms don't exist,"
said SOLE member Leigh Wede-
noja atcyesterday's event.
Over her week-long visit to
the United States sponsored by
United Students Against Sweat-
shops, Perez will speak at seven
schools and events including the
University of Southern Califor-
nia, Purdue University and a rally
in Chicago.
LSA sophomore Micaela Battiste,
who asked Perez several questions,
said she liked the event because it
was an "opportunity to hear the
word straight from the person
experiencingit."
Perez said BJ & B, which made
apparel for companies like Nike and
Reebok, closed without warning on
Feb. 22. The factory is not officially
scheduled to close until May 22.
Perez, who is four months
pregnant, told the audience that
establishing a union was difficult
because talking about unions in the
factory was "like speaking about
the devil."
She said she had the mostsuccess
in recruiting workers by distribut-
ing a flyer with a photo of her and
her four children and the caption,
"For you and your children, join a
union."
She said many workers were
afraid to join a union because
the management told them that
a union would put the factory in
danger of closing because it would
be less attractive to contracted
suppliers.
Perez said that over the three
years since she began working to
establish one, the factory down-
sized from 1,800 employees to 300.
Perez said the closure has devas-
tated her village.
SOLE members brought Perez
to Coleman's office yesterday but
theydidnotgettomeetherbecause
they did not have an appointment.
SOCIAL SITES
From page 1
munication will lead to a decrease
in personal interaction. He said
that's not necessarily a bad thing,
though.
Social computing brings togeth-
er people from across the world
and gives users a better under-
standing of other cultures, Resn-
ick said.
"It is inevitable - it's happening,
we can not stop it," he said.
The program is one of six new
specializations offered by the
School of Information.
Like undergraduate majors, the
specializations allow students
to focus their studies on one or
two specific areas while fulfill-
ing the requirements of a master's
degree.
Resnick said college students
today are more connected with old
friends because of social network-
ing websites.
When Resnick was in col-
lege, he didn't have much contact
with friends from his hometown
between the end of the summer and
the time he returned for Thanks-
giving break, he said. Now, students
can always keep in touch with far-
away friends through online net-
works, he said.
Resnick said the specialization
will train people to work for infor-
mation technology companies like
Yahoo and Google.
"(Social networking) is a trend
that will continue for a while," he
said. "There is going to be a demand
from employers."
Lawson said social network-
ing is proving to be important in
marketing and educational fields
as well.
Although courses are already
being offered, master's students in
the School of Information will be
able to declare their specialization
in social computing within a few
weeks, Lawson said.
