It may be hard for students to
imagine working in a job where
bosses yell at them for taking ex-
tra bathroom breaks. or where
temperatures are over 100 de-
grees. with no air-conditioning or
even fans. But for many sweat»
shop workers in El Salvador,
these conditions are the norm.

Ponce and Lara were brought

Ponce and Lara will be re—

and not to a warm welcome. Any-
one who attempts to form a union
in El Salvador is blacklisted.
Kernigan explained.

Since the two women will
not be able to find jobs easily. the
committee is trying to provide
support for them so that they can
serve as organizers. informing
their fellow workers, of the work
that US. students are doing to
improve working conditions.
