The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com SOLE 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.
