The campaign began in the spring of 1998, when PSLM invited Dominican workers to speak to students about factory conditions.
The group has held about 10 public rallies since the living wage campaign began about a year ago.
Most rallies attract about 150 students and include noted speakers such as Cambridge Mayor Francis H. Duehay '55 and Fletcher University Professor Cornel R. West '74, both of whom have spoken this year.
At one rally, about 30 demonstrators stormed the seventh-floor Holyoke Center office of Roberts, the lead negotiator for the University. They were turned away at the door by Harvard University Police Department officers but continued marching and chanting in the corridor for about 10 minutes.
Originally founded in 1997 as an organization primarily dedicated to educating students about labor issues, PSLM stills views outreach and education as crucial to achieving its overall goals.
