American Eagle and workers rights
I used to like American Eagle until I found out they’re doing zilch to protect workers’ rights. AE claims it cares about workers — its own code of conduct requires contractors to respect the right of employees to form unions. Yet workers at the NLS warehouse - contracted to ship AE clothing in Canada - faced harassment and intimidation when they tried to improve conditions by forming a union with UNITE HERE, the union I work with. Since then, American Eagle hasn’t lifted a finger. Let’s boycott American Eagle until they enforce their code of conduct. Sign the boycott pledge at www.AmericanVulture.org.
