Please help pressure Hugo Boss Co. over distributive workers conditions
I got an e-mail today asking me to join a spamming campaign to pressure Hugo Boss clothing company to treat their workers decently at the Savannah,GA distribution centre.

from my e-mail:
Hugo Boss is one of the world's most well-known clothing companies. For a profitable company known for its expensive wares, it's decidedly cheap with its workers
<snip>
Although the company has reported record sales of over $1.57 billion and net profits of over $120 million, the company is refusing to fund a pension plan for its warehouse workers, and only offering a 30-cent wage increase this year, postponing much needed adjustments that workers desperately need now.
<snip>
Workers at the Hugo Boss distribution center in Savannah, GA, have been working without a contract since April. The workers, mostly African-American women, are paid an average wage of $7.63 an hour and have no retirement plan.


If you would like to participate all you have to do is send an e-mail to the CEO.

You can find more details about the e-mail campaign at this link: take action for http://action.americanrightsatwork.org/campaign/hugo?rk=D7%5figR51zuuKE">Hugo Boss workers rights.

If you want, you can http://action.americanrightsatwork.org/aaraw/join.html?r=Z7_igR51zujSE"> register with American Rights at Work to recieve notice about other campaigns.

If you like spam - you'll love A.R.A.W.
