Campus Connection: No resolution following Adidas-UW mediation

Adidas and UW-Madison appear no closer to coming to any sort of an agreement over a long-simmering dispute tied to the apparel giant?s refused to help pay some 2,700 Indonesian workers about $1.8 million in legally mandated severance pay. Officials representing both Adidas and UW-Madison met with a mediator last week in an effort to remedy the ongoing situation. But Vince Sweeney, UW-Madison?s vice chancellor for university relations, said in a phone conversation Monday that the ?dispute has not been resolved.?
