Sad Day

Jump to Comments

American Apparel has been a leader in try

ing to get meaningful immigration reform.

I have been in their facility many times and nearly always unannounced,

and I can tell you that they treat people well there.

They work hard there, but the working conditions are good.


I think that the Mark Twain line, “Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example” is in play here and it seems that everyone

is targeting them for criticism.


The reality is that they have had literally thousands of jobs for mostly poor latinas right in Downtown Los Angeles.


This is a sad day because they are being targeted for their outspoken criticism of immigration laws, not for any mistreatment or exploitation of “illegal” immigrants.

 American Apparel immigrant  workers were fired today. <!-- ~~sponsor~~ -->
