On May 1, the international workers’ holiday of May Day, members of the local group Pittsburgh Anti-Sweatshop Community Alliance, or PASCA, spoke to Pirates fans outside PNC Park about making concienscious sports-fan apparel choices. They distributed a new edition of their anti-sweatshop baseball cards as a part of the campaign to pressure the Pittsburgh Pirates and Major League Baseball to enforce labor standards for their licensed merchandise in the same way that many Universities have done.
