American Apparel workers unite to protest factory conditions

The punches just keep coming for once beloved hipster fashion label American Apparel. First, they had their controversy with Dov Charney last year over allegations of sexual harassment, then they fired Creative Director Iris Alonzo, only to re-hire her, and recently fire her again, and now apparently their workers are in uprising. With the backing of Hermandad Mexico, the immigrant’s rights advocacy non-profit group, factory workers at American Apparel have joined together to form a coalition to advocate for their rights before the new corporate management.
