Sweat Free Sit-In

The way to END negotiations is to pull lame-ass, attention-grabbing stunts like this. If you really were invested in the negotiations then you should have stuck with it through thick and thin rather than pulling this - that's the true test of character. I hope Hennesey refuses to meet with you any more just to show you how abhorrent stunts like this are when people have been negotiating in good faith.

And they certainly don't represent the student body - that's what the ASSU does. The ASSU senate did not endorse THIS action.

Why don't these people picket the Stanford Store (the ASSU-run, student owned clothes store)? Because they're attention grabbing losers and they want to think that they're making social change through some kind of David/Goliath paradigm.

These people are such morons.

They don't have the moral high ground; abandoning cheap labor in developing countries would force people out of jobs, destroy many viable enterprises and also price people out of products here (think how many kids have shoes thanks to cheaper foreign labor). There are too many shades of grey in the argument to think that people can act as resolutely as this: their moral argument is flawed.
