SCALE PUblished in the nation!
SCALE members Maria Rodriguez and Sarah Newell were recently published in national magazine The Nation. Check out their article, The Link Between USC and Garment Worker Factory Fires on thenation.com.
"USC’s apparel program is one of the largest in the world, and, like other universities, USC has multimillion-dollar contracts that it can leverage to force brands to be accountable to their workers. However, when USC contracts with corporate monitors like UL Responsible Sourcing, it props up a broken model that has cost the lives of hundreds of workers."
