A licensing committee prepared a statement Friday urging the University of Wisconsin to cut its clothing ties with Adidas after the Student Labor Action Coalition delivered a giant paper mache boot to Chancellor John Wileyâ??s office last week.
SLAC has been a longtime supporter of the rights of workers in a particular El Salvador factory that produces Adidas clothing.
While the factory closed more than two years ago, several investigations said nearly 63 workers remain unpaid and on a blacklist.
