Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit UNITE HERE e-Activism.The short explanation of this alert was:
Last March, Texas-based men's apparel giant Men's Wearhouse - which owns Canadian retail chain Moores as well as MW Tux - announced it will close Golden Brand, its Montreal factory where suits for the company are made, leaving 540 workers out in the cold. Men's Wearhouse CEO George Zimmer claims they have no choice but to close the factory in order to "remain competitive" - this from a company that reported revenue of $2.1 billion and profits of $147 million last year. Something doesn't add up! Golden Brand workers have already traveled to the company's headquarters in Houston, Texas and presented a petition to George Zimmer demanding that he keep their factory open. Now they are reaching out to the company's Board of Directors, who also have the power to save the Golden Brand workers' jobs. You may have already supported this campaign by sending Mr. Zimmer an email. Please take the time to send another message - this time to members of the Men's Wearhouse Board of Directors. Add your voice to help us convince these directors that the only responsible thing to do is to keep Golden Brand open! Below are the Board of Directors to whom we are sending an email to: George Zimmer; David Edwab; Rinaldo Brutoco; Deepak Chopra, M.D.; Larry Katzen; Michael L. Ray, Ph.D.; William B. Sechrest; and Sheldon I. Stein.
