Binghamton University Products Protested

Roger Neel/WNBF News [file][/caption]A group of Binghamton University students is planning weekly pickets at the Vestal Campus to protest the university’s dealings with Reynolds/Pactiv.

The students say Pactiv, which is a subsidiary of Reynolds and makes Binghamton University-sold products, forces women at its New Jersey facility to work extraordinarily long hours for weeks on end causing injury and disability.

The students are calling on the university to break ties with Pactiv and boycott Pactiv products.

The pickets are being held from noon to 2 at the Couper Administration Building.
