Are you a student interested in United States Against Sweatshops and workers in the Dominican Republic?

Have you heard of Alta Gracia? This video students made about the project’s history is an intriguing overview:

Alta Gracia is offering an internship in community education and organizing!!

Alta Gracia is a groundbreaking factory that sets a social responsibility standard high in the industry by paying a “living wage”. Set at more than three-and-a-half times the Dominican minimum wage and based on a cost of living study conducted by independent labor rights watchdog Workers Rights Consortium, this “salario digno” enables workers to support their families with dignity, covering food, housing, transportation, health care and education costs for their children. The ripple effect in the community is impressive: new businesses have opened across from the factory, construction has picked up as workers invest in more livable homes, and not just children but Alta Gracia workers themselves are going back to school on the weekend to continue where poverty had forced them to abandon studies. Workers enjoy top health and safety standards at work and a union, a voice on the job, and dignified working conditions.
