NYU Students Protest Alleged Sweatshop Labor in University Merchandise
A group of New York University (NYU) students, part of the Students of International Labor Solidarity (SILS), staged a protest to demand transparency in the university's merchandise supply chain. The protest, which took place outside the Kimmel Center, involved students stripping down to their underwear to draw attention to their cause. The students are calling for NYU to disclose the full supply chain of its merchandise, which includes brands like Champion, Lululemon, and Nike, manufactured in various countries. SILS claims that the university has only disclosed the final factories used, and they suspect that the university might be hiding labor violations. The protest is part of a larger campaign called 'Follow the Thread,' aimed at ensuring fair labor practices.
