The University of Wisconsin-Madisonâ??s Labor Licensing Policy Committee voted to recommend that Chancellor Biddy Martin start taking steps to end the universityâ??s apparel contract with Nike, Inc. due to alleged labor rights abuses at two of the companyâ??s factories.
But donâ??t expect Martin to take any immediate action.
….Dawn Crim, a special assistant to the chancellor for community relations, said Monday the chancellor is hoping to hear back from Nike representatives before taking any major action against the company. She said the university is hoping to receive a phone call from Nike by the end of the week.
