No Sweat clothes

Dear friends:  Getting serious about fighting sweatshops must include OFFERING 
SERIOUS ALTERNATIVES.  Please take a few seconds to look at ours.

We're trying to gauge the level of support we can expect from the progressive community for our 
anti-sweatshop initiative before we begin production. What we're doing is pretty 
simple -- providing a living wage to union producers here and in the developing 
world, a competitive product for consumers and a reasonable return for investors. 
We can do all that if we don't have to advertise. That's the big if.  Will the 
community spread the word about a for-profit venture? On the plus side, we don't 
compete with the existing non-profits for scarce resources and attention!

Thanks for your time,

Jeff Ballinger Director, Press for Change

comments: I am an I.B.E.W.  union electrician and will be glad to help spread
the word for my follow union members! I think it is grand for someone to openly 
express their feelings about  organized labor. I will proudly display the sticker you 
send on my vehicle. Good  luck brothers and sisters! Jesse L.U. 1516  I.B.E.W.
