II. URGE GOVERNOR SCHWARZENEGGER TO JOIN COALITION FOR SWEAT-FREE PROCUREMENT AND WORKERS RIGHTS
California passed SB 578 in October 2003 to ensure that taxpayer dollars are not used to buy goods made in sweatshops. Sweatshop Watch, along with many allies around the state, are urging Governor Schwarzenegger to join the newly forming Governor Coalition for Sweat-free Procurement and Workers Rights. The Coalition would explore strategies such as pooling states' resources for more cost-effective independent monitoring, and establishing a purchasing consortium to allow states to leverage purchasing power in support of sweat-free supplier factories.
Learn how you can urge Governor Schwarzenegger to join this Coalition, which could provide a much-needed vehicle for enforcing our state sweatfree procurement law more effectively.
