UNITE-HERE Launches American Eagle Outfitters Campaign - 06/01/07

By Doug Cunningham

UNITE-HERE Canada Director Alex Dagg says a distribution center serving American Eagle Outfitters is violating Canadian labor law in an organizing campaign at the facility in Ontario. So UNITE-HERE is launching a public campaign targeting American Eagle Outfitters in an effort to stop the anti-union actions of National Logistics Services, which bought the distribution center from American Eagle Outfitters.

: “We have gone to almost every single store here in the province of Ontario. There are almost 40 stores here. And we're launching a North American-wide campaign where we will be doing days of action against the AMerican Eagle stores in the next four to five days in more than 20 North American cities."
