 Campaign background:
SLAC was formed in 1998 by MEChA (Movimiento Estudiantil
Chicano de Aztlan) and SEAS (Students for Environmental
Action at Stanford). In spring 2000, SLAC support janitors'
fight for living wages. In fall 2001, six SLAC students
staged a sit-in at the university hospital to stop the
subcontracting of janitors' jobs. In spring 2002, SLAC
and the NAACP had a 4-day sleep out calling for higher
wages for campus foodservice workers. In spring 2003,
SLAC and the Coalition for Labor Justice stage a sucessful
week-long hunger strike to re-hire a worker fired for
speaking out for her rights and to form a committee
to examine labor practices at Stanford. The committee
finally released its reccomendations over the summer
of 2004 (read the final
report). SLAC is still actively support campus workers
struggles today!
