Labor Licensing Policy Committee February Meeting

So, we had another LLPC meeting on Friday. It was actually a pretty uneventful meeting. We got an update on New Era (UW recently cut the contract). The union and New Era have reached a tentative agreement--yay!--but the University is sticking by its decision to cut the contract, even though New Era seems to think there are some legal issues. Nothing has really changed for Hermosa according to the former workers, we will get a report from adidas when Gregg Nebel visits us on April 4th, along with Scott Nova of the Worker Rights Consortium. A lot of our meeting, and most of our next meeting, was dedicated to planning for the April 4 meeting, figuring out questions to ask, etc. We decided to try and get an outside facilitator so that we can all play the roles of concerned students, faculty, staff, etc., rather than the role of unbiased facilitator. I'm still encouraging people to come to that meeting, or let me know if you have any questions you want me to ask Gregg or Scott, but other than that, nothing else really happened.
