Polo Uniforms A Legal Faux Pas?
Forced to spend up to a third of their annual income on Ralph Lauren fashions to keep their jobs, Polo employees are suing the fashion giant for its uniform policy.
The complaint was filed Wednesday by Toni Young on behalf of other unnamed plaintiffs and claimed Ralph Lauren's Polo stores require sales representatives to purchase and wear the latest clothing line from the retailer. [CBS News.com]
Let's add this up. First you make your clothes using ten cent an hour child labor, then you model it using people who create unhealthy expectations about body image, and then you force your employees to purchase (at a small discount) your clothes to wear at work. Don't forget that you sell the overpriced clothes in swank little shops, or high end department stores at a nice margin. The fashion business...what a nice little scam...mj
