Dear List, Just a comment about American Apparel. I have taken students on a tour of American Apparel. They are located in downtown LA. I don't believe they have minors working. It was an incredibly clean facility employing over 1000 people in this one building. They pay good wages with full benefits. With any business that employees a large group of people you are going to find some who don't function correctly. Look at Enron. I don't know if the CEO was arrested and or convicted but it is providing jobs in the apparel industry on US soil. I firmly believe we should support companies producing in America if at all possible. Before you decide to boycott an American company we need to get all of the information correct. I will talk to Human Relations this week and report back.

The CEO (Or someone else high up on the corporate ladder) was arrested a couple years ago for sexual harassment on some of his employees. Some of those were minors from what I remember.
