WERE NOT
CHUCK E. CHEESE
WE’RE NOT
WAL-MART..
The shame of it.
Los Angeles is our
community, and we share it
with millions of
disenfranchised people who
have been, and continue to
be, humiliated. They live in
fear because the US
government has refused to
recognize them as fully
franchised members of our
society. This has resulted in
a society in denial-a society
looking more and more like a
well designed apartheid
system...a society in
contradiction, collecting
taxes from people they
conveniently ignore.
Most companies operating
within this degrading system
don’t seem to care. Some
are afraid of immigration
reprisals and others remain
silent while salting away
unconscionable profits.
Others, move their
operations off shore where
they are free to pay poverty
level wages with impunity.
American Apparel...
the anti-brand. American
Apparel is addressing this
civil liberties crisis as it
applies to California, the
country as a whole, and the
apparel industry.
We discontinued the use of
sub-contractors and created
a unique “manufacturing
community,” supported by
loyal, highly motivated, fairly
paid employees, enjoying the
benefits and rewards of a job
well done. Specifically, we
are engineering our
production process so that
every American Apparel
employee will earn a living
wage and beyond. Our
culture recognizes
outstanding performance
and promotes from within,
provides health care
benefits, training and
education programs, ESL,
and a soon to be operating
day care facility.
American Apparel is striving
to become a new model for
the apparel industry, and
asks for your support.
