U. of Wisconsin-Madison Cuts Ties to Apparel Maker for Violating Code of Conduct

The University of Wisconsin at Madison has canceled its contract with an apparel company that refused to allow a labor inspection of one of its plants, according to The Daily Cardinal, the campusâ??s student newspaper.

The business, the New Era Cap Company, prevented a university-hired labor-monitoring group from entering its facility in Mobile, Ala. The universityâ??s code of conduct requires companies licensed to use its logo to have their working conditions observed by a monitoring agency, the Worker Rights Consortium.
