The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com MSA From Page 1A voted at all for LSA junior Muham- mad Alghanem, Shaber would have tied Alghanem. Instead, Shaber lost. Bouchard said there are up to 2,000 people who might have been able to cast ineligible votes. But the number of people who actually did is far smaller. Only 2,100 people voted in the entire election. Bouchard said MSA Rep. Tim Hull noticed the discrepancy and brought it to the Central Student Judiciary. CSJ reviewed the case and placed an injunction blocking the elec- tion results from taking effect. The newly elected assembly members will not assume their positions until the results are confirmed by CSJ. If ITCS is able to filter the results, CSJ will be able to verify the results, and the newly-elected representatives will be able to join the assembly. "I don't expect the results to change that much, but once we see the numbers we'll use those to determine the outcome of the elec- tion," Bouchard said. If ITCS isn't able to do that, Bouchard said he isn't sure what will happen. LABOR From Page 1A versity by citing a factory produc- tion order for 100 medallions with the University's block 'M' logo from the Junxingye Metal and Plastic Factory in Dongguan, China. The NLC obtained the produc- tion order for University merchan- dise after it was smuggled out of the factory by a worker. Multiple other universities, including Brigham Young Univer- sity, Auburn University and Rutgers University, were mentioned in the report as having merchandise pro- duced at the Junxingye factory. Charles Kernaghan,' director of the NLC, said the University of Michigan's production order includ- ed in the report represented a small amount of the total university mer- chandise produced at the factory. "That's just a snapshot of what's being made there," Kernaghan said. The NLC report stated that workers earned less than half of the 55-cent minimum wage required by law in the southern province of Guang- dong, where the factory is located. Workers were being forced to work up to 15.5 hours a day for seven days a week, which exceeded the Chinese labor law mandating an eight-hour workday for five days a week, the report stated. The report also found that work- ers were forced to work an average of 51 hours of overtime, which exceeds China's legal limit by 514 percent. School of Social Work Prof. Larry Root, chair of University President Mary Sue Coleman's Advisory Committee on Labor Standards and Human Rights, said the com- mittee would discuss the findings of the NLC report at its meeting Tuesday. The committee oversees the Uni- versity's licensees and reviews their labor standards. The NLC's report marks the sec- ond time in less than a month that a factory producing University of Michigan merchandise was the tar- get of allegations of labor violations. Last month, the Worker Rights Consortium released a report alleg- ing that a Mobile, Ala., factory owned by University licensee New Era racially discriminated against black workers in pay, hiring and promotion decisions. Adidas, the University's new athletic apparel supplier, has also been embroiled in labor disputes, most recently in El Salvador, where a factory subcontracted to produce Adidas apparel has yet to com- pensate workers for unpaid wages and severance pay after closing in 2005.

It would have Thursday, December 6, 2007 - 7A no real effect on my life, but it would really help someone else." Despite his intentions, Pieroni missed the button sale and was unable to donate the $3. Pieroni wasn't alone in missing the donation. A few STAND mem- bers admitted that they didn't sac- rifice any money or goods, but they said theysacrificed their time. LSA senior Catrina Armendariz said she also wasn't able to donate yesterday. "I had a classmate who was asking for donations, but I couldn't give anything," she said. "I'm broke." Several other students also said they hadn't heard about the event but would have been interested in donating. When presented with a website to donate, however, the stu- dents appeared less than enthused. More than 800 student groups across the world participated in Dar- fur Fast. Accordingto Sean Redding, a sophomore at George Washington University and communications coordinator for the national STAND organization said that with 300 uni- versities participating last year, the group raised $150,000. "We've proven in the past and we will prove today that small dona- tions from individuals make a big difference on the ground," Redding said. the michigan CORNER HOUSE APTS. 2 & 3 bdrms. beautifully furnished, high ceil- ings, great views & garage parking. 741-9300. annarborapartments.net EARLY MOVE-IN. 1115 S.Forest 5 rms./sleeps 6. 2 showers, dishwshr, prk- ing, ldry, $3250/mo. 734-260-4003.
