Minnesota, February 15, 2009, written by Josh Katzenstein - Two former factory employees urged the University of Minnesota to sever its ties with Russell Athletic Friday following the closing of their factory in Choloma, Honduras . Moises Elias Montoya Alvarado and Norma Estela Mejia Castellanos were both leaders in the unionizing of Jerzees de Honduras , which makes apparel for multiple universities. The two have been going to universities across the country urging administrations to cut ties with Russell. Although the University of Minnesota has not made a decision about its future relationship with the company, General Counsel Mark Rotenberg sent a letter to Russell demanding answers about the recent allegations. The University gave Russell until Feb. 20 to reply, and the University will act depending on the response, Associate General Counsel Brent Benrud said. Link: Read the article
