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.The short explanation of this alert was:  Ask Reebok to Make the Save! (Cliquez ici pour la version française) Hockey is Canada's most popular sport, and Reebok holds the exclusive license for official National Hockey League (NHL) apparel and equipment. But hockey fans may be surprised to learn that much of the Reebok hockey apparel and equipment is manufactured not in Canada but overseas.
Since 2002, Reebok or The Hockey Company/Sport Maska (a company that became a Reebok subsidiary in 2004) have shut down five factories in Canada, outsourced work, and eliminated nearly 600 Canadian jobs.
That manufacturing work has been sent to factories in other countries, particularly in China. An analysis of Reebok import shipments shows that hockey jerseys, sticks, ice skates and other items are produced in at least 12 countries, with nearly two thirds of the total product coming from factories in China. Urge Reebok to commit to Canadian manufacturing for the game we love. Ask Reebok to Make the Save! Send a message to Reebok.
