so nennt sich eine T-Shirt-Fabrik in L.A. mit 3'000 Angestellten, die von sich behauptet, für US-Verhältnisse gute Arbeitsbedingungen zu bieten.

American Apparel is a youth-directed company with no institutional investors. We are challenging the corporate establishment and rejecting institutional norms while remaining committed to making the best T-shirts in the world. It is T-shirts by youth, for youth.
(...) Internalized production, where the workers are part of the company, is far more efficient than the industry norm of offshore or onshore sub-contracting. At American Apparel, the workers have a voice and can influence their own lives as well as the life of the company.
g) ESL - English as a Second Language In collaboration with the Los Angeles Unified School District, we offer free English classes to our workers.
h) Massage/Health and Wellness We have five certified massage therapists who work exclusively with our factory workers, free of charge. We have also hired an occupational health and wellness specialist who is available to council workers.
(...) n) Bathroom and Telephone Breaks
During working hours, employees are allowed to go to the bathroom whenever they want and can receive brief cell phone calls or use the company telephones, which are free of charge, for quick personal calls.
o) Paid Days Off American Apparel offers its employees paid days off. We have devised a system based on the number of years an employee has worked, making workers eligible for between five-15 paid personal days off per year.
