Links Students target Gap stores Protesters on college campuses decry working conditions overseas.
Gap says it combats sweatshops.
In a poster going up on college campuses across the Philadelphia area, the dour face of an older Asian woman is displayed in what appears to be a Gap ad for vests. I used to work in a GAP sweatshop. At more and more colleges across the country, students are speaking out against U.S. companies such as Nike and Gap that buy goods from overseas factories. The anti-sweatshop groups, which have cropped up in the last several years, are trying to draw attention to low wages and harsh working conditions. They also are pressuring universities to stop licensing college logos to companies that employ sweatshop labor.
