The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com Wednesday, November 28, 2007 - 7A ADIDAS From Page1A called on Chancellor John Wiley to terminate the university's licensing contract with Adidas after an El Salvadorian factory subcontracted to Adidas that pro- duced Wisconsin apparel violated the university's code of conduct with Adidas. Labor rights activists say that the El Salvadorian factory failed to compensate workers about $800,000 in back pay and sever- ance after closing in 2005. Negotiations on behalf of the workers are ongoing, though most of the workers have yet to receive full compensation, Nebel said. He said Adidas is working to resolve the situation. The University of Michigan's code of conduct for licensees, which applies to its eight-year, $60 million contract with Adidas is nearly identical to the University of Wisconsin at Madison's code of conduct. The University of Michigan's Adidas apparel will be produced in factories in China, South Korea, Taiwan and the United States, according to the WRC's website. Larry Root, chair of the Uni- versity's Advisory Committee on Labor Standards and Human Rights, said the move from Nike to Adidas won't result in any signifi- cant labor monitoring changes. "They both have strong compli- ance programs within the context of code enforcement," Root said. RC senior Jason Bates, the stu- dent representative on the Adviso- ry Committee on Labor Standards and Human Rights, said Nebel's presentation lacked any substan- tial plans for seriously addressing labor problems in factories that produce Adidas products. "It's clear that Adidas is willing to do anything to help workers out - unless it costs them," said Bates, a member of Students Organized for Labor and Economic Equality. STADIUM From Page 1A disagreement here, and one of the ways you settle disagreements if you can't come to a settlementis to let the courts decide." The University has argued that concrete replacement projects that took place in the seating bowl over the last 15 years should be consid- ered repairs rather than altera- tions. Public venues built before the ADA took effect in 1990 must comply with the full set of regula- tions - including making1percent of all seats wheelchair-accessible - once a substantial alteration to the structure takes place. The stadium currently has 88 wheelchair-accessible seats but would have as many as 600 after an expansion project scheduled to be completed in 2009. That's still far fewer than the more than ,000 seats that would be required if the stadium were forced to upgrade to meet ADA regulations. After the expansion, the sta- dium would have 300 permanent wheelchair-accessible seats locat- ed in the bowl and in premium seating structures being built on the sidelines. Those structures will house controversial luxury boxes. The University announced last week a plan to build remov- able seating platforms around the entrance portal of the seating bowl. The platforms will be added or removed based on demand, add- ing as many as 300 more wheel- chair-accessible seats to the bowl. Richard Bernstein, a lawyer representing the Michigan Para- lyzed Veterans of America, said in an interview last week that the University has acted as if the Americans with Disabilities Act doesn't apply to them. "You cannot go and create your own standards," Bernstein said. "The law is very clear as to what is expected and what needs to be done." Coleman said it doesn't make sense to reserve hundreds of additional seats for disabled fans when the University has never had more than 95 requests for wheelchair-accessible seats at a single football game. Because one wheelchair-accessible seat takes up as much space as about a dozen regular seats, Coleman estimated that installing permanent dis- abled seating around the entire bowl portal would eliminate about 4,500 total seats in the bowl. Although eliminatingthatnum- ber of season tickets would lose the Athletic Department almost $2 million in annual season ticket revenue and would likely drop Michigan Stadium from the larg- est football stadium in the country to third, behind Penn State's Bea- ver Stadium and Ohio State's Ohio Stadium, Coleman did not explic- itly cite cost or capacity as reasons the University would be reluctant to install permanent wheelchair- accessible seating around the entire seating bowl. She said she was concerned that adding hun- dreds of additional wheelchair- accessible seats would lead to empty seats and a drop in the num- ber of season tickets available. "We try to balance the needs of all the patrons," Coleman said. "What I don't think anybody wants here is to see empty seats at the stadium that people are not using, but we want to have good plans so that everyone will have an opportunity to have a good seat at the stadium." Bernstein said in an inter- view last week that there is little demand for wheelchair-accessi- ble seating because the stadium doesn't adequately accommodate disabled fans - leading many to choose not to attend the games. He said the University must address other problems with the stadium, like excessively steep ramps and inaccessible paths from parking lots to seats. "If they don't fix the other stuff, no one will want to come," Bern- stein said. PRIMARY From Page 1A ing their leadoff status on the pri- mary calendar. Unless the measure is taken up again, Michigan voters would see only Hillary Rodham Clin- ton, Dennis Kucinich, Chris Dodd and Mike Gravel as choices on the Democratic ballot, while all eight Republican candidates would be on the GOP one. The Democrat-controlled House on Monday night passed the bill to put all eight Democrats on the ballot, but failed to come up with the two-thirds vote needed for it to take effect before the elec- tion. Democratic National Commit- teewoman Debbie Dingell - who along with Gov. Jennifer Gran- holm backs Clinton - blamed the Edwards campaign for derailing the vote. "It's very clear thatthe Edwards people have been at the forefront of trying to keep the primary from happening in Michigan," Ding- ell said yesterday. "They felt they would have had a better chance at a caucus" because union members who like Edwards would make up a disproportionate share of Demo- cratic caucus voters. Michigan GOP Chairman Saul Anuzis blamed both the Edwards campaign and Michigan Demo- cratic Chairman Mark Brewer for keeping the names off the ballot. Both have "been working for months to scuttle Michigan's pres- idential primary, working in open opposition to Governor Granholm and the large majority Michigan Democrats who joined Republi- cans in supporting a Jan. 15 prima- ry," Anuzis said in a release. "The only thing the Democrats have done is chosen to score political points by disenfranchising their own voters." A call seeking comment was left yesterday afternoon with the Edwards campaign. Brewer denies he or the Edwards campaign is trying to scuttle the primary. "They've made a conscious decision to stay off the ballot. And they're going to have to live with the consequences of that," he said of the candidates who withdrew. The Democratic Party's execu- tive committee yesterday night overwhelmingly approved the Jan. 15 primary. The primary replaces an earlier plan under which the Democrats would have held a Feb. 9 presidential caucus. Brewer plans to file the pri- mary plan with the Democratic National Committee today and it will be considered Saturday by the DNC Rules Committee. The DNC likely will threaten to strip the party of its 128 national con- vention delegates for holding an election before Feb. 5, but Brewer thinks the delegates ultimately will be seated. The state party also is asking for a waiver to avoid the penalty. Brewer ran a Democratic presi- dential caucus in 2004 that drew more than 160,000 voters, and thinks holding a caucus still could be a viable option, although he'll have to follow what the execu- tive committee decides. But he noted the executive committee could change its decision anytime before the meeting Saturday with the DNC Rules Committee. Saturday also is another dead- line, since county clerks are sup- posed to deliver absentee ballots to local clerks by then. Brewer said there are serious constitutional issues with forcing candidates to be on the ballot and wants law- makers to stop trying to get the names back on so clerks can get the ballots printed. He has been told the bill is essentially dead, but others say there's still a chance lawmakers could bring up the measure later this week. Michigan AFL-CIO President Mark Gaffney, who likes Edwards, is among those who thinks the bill's not dead. "I would like to have him back on the ballot," he said of Edwards. He added that, if the bill passes, the four who took their names off the ballot could tell Iowa and New Hampshire that the matter was out of their hands, possibly calm- ing any voter outrage that could arise when Iowa holds its Jan. 3 caucuses and New Hampshire holds its Jan. 8 primary. Gaffney said unions hope Republican lawmakers will want to pass the bill putting the miss- ing candidates back on the ballot to keep Democrats from crossing over to vote in the Republican pri- mary. The unions hope to trade Demo- cratic votes for that bill for Repub- lican votes on measures the unions want, such as one letting public employees form political action committees. But GOP lawmakers at this point don't look ready to cooperate. INTERESTED IN WEB DESIGN? Help us redesign our website.
