Read the article. American Apparel has gone down in production for their own stores because their wholesale accounts are up and, after having to fire around 1500 employees who couldn’t provide legal documentation for being authorized to work in the United States, American Apparel really hurt their production and turn around time.
To me the need for Made in America is still highly sought after for retailers and other wholesalers. Do you think the American Market is spoiled over low pricing that American Apparel felt the need to hire illegally to keep their costs down?
Research in many work related fields needs to be seriously pursued for their hiring process. But, how are customers going to deal if prices go up because companies are actually having to pay living wages? Can American Apparel not afford to pay people higher wages or is it that no one wants to do the work? In a time of recession wouldn’t people want to jump at the chance to have a job opportunity, or does it not pay the bills?
What is your solution for the current lack of production in America? What should we start to do? How will that affect people’s buying habits?
