What do the people in the WAAKE-UP! coalition have against the poor? And why are they so intent on forcing the University of Colorado to act like the worst kind of imperialist?
WAAKE-UP!, a coalition of everything from the Rain Forest Action Group to the AFL-CIO,[1] wants the University to adopt its Code of Conduct for determining who may and may not manufacture licensed CU apparel. The model Code, as posted on the United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS) web page, imposes the agenda of wealthy Americans unions on poverty stricken workers in other countries.[2] It is a central planners dream.
