|
Citing anti-union labor practices, the University announced Friday that it will join a growing list of schools who are terminating business relations with Russell Athletics, which currently manufactures Cornell apparel.
The decision, effective March 31, comes after investigations conducted by the Fair Labor Association and the Worker’s Rights Consortium into Jerzees de Honduras, a Honduran textile factory owned by Russell Athletics, revealed that the factory had been closed because its workers attempted to unionize.
