    UW pushes Lands' End on labor By Aaron Nathans
    Universities such as UW-Madison are pressuring Lands' End to make amends for the alleged blacklisting of pro-union job applicants at one of its subcontractor factories in El Salvador.

    Lands' End makes logo clothing for the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The Worker Rights Consortium, the UW's watchdog organization, said 22 job applicants at the Primo factory claimed they were turned away because they tried to set up a union at another factory.
