>Please tell GW President Steven Joel Trachtenberg to support
>worker's rights and drop the charges against the students,

>As part of the National Student Labor Week of Action (see
>www.jwj.org/SLAP/A4/2004.htm), the students were occupying the
>student union building (the Marvin Center), demanding that the
>university put workers' rights in writing in the form of a labor
>code of conduct, and affiliate with the independent monitoring
>agency - the Worker Rights Consortium - to help ensure that GW
>does not employ sweatshop labor. If GW -- the largest private
>employer in D.C. -- is allowed to trample on workers' rights,
>the rights of workers throughout our nation's capitol are
>jeopardized.
>
>Urge President Trachtenberg to drop the charges against the
>students, today! Please send the fax below to President
>Trachtenberg and express your outrage at the arrests of
>students' peacefully protesting the exploitation of workers on
>their campus. Demand that George Washington University adopt a
>worker rights code of conduct and affiliate with the Worker
>Rights Consortium immediately!
