You would also be surprised at how many boots are made here as well. Since last summer, I've been frustrated over finding "Made in USA" products. I created a reference website for consumers to search to find whatever they are looking for. We also offer services "No charge" to find things others can't find.

In 2005, three female employees filed sexual harassment lawsuits against American Apparel's CEO, Dov Charney. Charney claimed to have slept with employees, and had other sexual acts performed on him by an employee during a series of interviews with a writer for the magazine, Jane.[12] American Apparel has also been accused of focusing on personal style and outward appearance in its hiring practices for retail positions. Charney has taken a personal interest in his company's sexually-charged advertising campaigns. Many of the models are recruited by Charney and his colleagues on the street, or company stores; others are selected after sending their photos directly to Charney via the company website.[3] Many of the intimate ad photos have been shot in Charney's own apartment. Charney has also emphasized sexuality in his public persona and within the company. (Ref: John Stossel, Sexy sweats without the Sweatshop, ABC Television December 2, 2005) Three of the four employee lawsuits were either dropped or settled, with the fourth still pending.[28]. Jane.[29] American Apparel has also been accused of focusing on personal style and outward appearance in its hiring practices for retail positions. Dov Charney went on trial on January 12, 2008 for Sexual Harassment charges. I wonder if Obama would want either of his daughters working for this man. This goes to good judgement.
