"J.P Stevens is so out of tune with a humane, civilized relations that it should shock even those least sensitive to honor, justice, and decent treatment."
Michael Schippani, the New England boycott coordinator, said last week he thinks "it is an excellent start when a merchandiser like the Coop acknowledges that there is a conflict around selling J.P Stevens products."
The Harvard Coop has joined with many large merchandisers nationwide in support of the union boycott of J.P. Stevens and Company, a North Carolina textile manufacturer with an extensive history of labor relations problems.
The Coop removed $2800 worth of J.P. Stevens merchandise from its shelves, following customer requests to do so, Howard W. Davis, general manager of the Coop, said last week.
Although the board of directors voted not to advertise their support of the boycott, it ordered the removal of the "inconsequential amount of merchanidse until the J.P. Stevens conflict could be resolved," Davis added.
