Hurrah for American Apparel
News this week further solidified our support of American Apparel as the manufacturer of choice for DTBF merchandise. We wanted to share why. Here is an excerpt of a Dec.19 article:
American Apparel to Be Sold for $244M
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The mostly foreign-born workers at American Apparel's downtown garment factory, the nation's largest, have enjoyed benefits that would make austere executives grab their wallets: A health plan. Free English classes. Back rubs from a masseuse and stretching breaks.
But with Tuesday's announced sale of the T-shirt maker to a publicly traded company came news not of slashes to staff and perks, but of yet another novel benefit: A piece of the company would be offered to American Apparel's some 5,000 employees.
