Outsourcing your underwear
Filed under: Borrowing, Shopping
The chances that Beefy T you're wearing was made in the USA are about to get slimmer. Hanesbrands announced Wednesday that it's closing four of its plants in its home state of North Carolina, as well as three in Central America, as a cost-cutting measure.
In brief, the apparel company plans to lay off about 8,100 workers in four countries and to create about 2,000 new jobs at its sewing plants in Thailand and Vietnam. Giving a nod to the fact that outsourcing has become accepted practice in these tough economic times, Hanesbrands CEO Richard Noll said in a statement that the closures and layoffs are "a critical plank in our strategic efforts to reduce costs."
According to USA Today, the costs in question were incurred in 2006, when Hanes spun off from Sara Lee. While analysts lauded the move, saying the marriage of underwear and baked goods was about as comfortable as an ill-fitting thong, Hanesbrands took it in the shorts with $250 million in related charges. Since the company still has to cover about $46 million of these charges, Hanesbrands has more consolidation planned for the near future.
By the end of next summer, its last large knit-fabric textile plant in the U.S. will be shuttered, along with a sewing plant in Mexico. These closures will be balanced somewhat by the opening of a textile plant in China, which will supply fabric for workers throughout Asia. Investors reacted to the news by giving Hanesbrands' stock a slight wedgie: Shares fell 10 cents after Wednesday's announcement.

Au regard de la loi et de la justice seul Frantz Pilorge [ propriétaire et direct contracteur] est capable d'entreprendre des démarches auprès des instances nationales et internationales et demander à Hanes de payer les employés et leur permettre de débloquer les marchandises de saralee / Hanes car l'implication directe de tout autre secteur dans l'affaire serait qualifiée d' infraction flagrante ce qui est sevèrement punie par la loi et la justice [pénal]... Seul Frantz pilorge peut livrer les secrèts de Cd Apparel et permettre toute intervention dans l’enceinte du batiment . C’est pourquoi il est le seul decideur et garant de son institution car les ouvriers comprennent le jeu et entendent poursuivre tout complice directement ou indirectement !!!

By the presente, we, the workers victims of the CD Apparel in Haiti want to attract the attention of the public opinion nationnal and international that the company Hanesbrands inc. (Hbi) is liveliness of itself in a manner disnonest defend when she declare that the work which is done in Haiti through internet by the workers is a companion of denigrement and of slander. By there, Hanes wants to hide the truth and destroy the light on the bad situation of the workers of the CD Apparel that itself caused for the decision to close in a manner brutal and illegal the CDApparel (HG) was taken by the persons in charge of Hanes May 4 2007 since this day more one than 500 workers are on the paved having Heavy responsibilities a lot money for bank and children to send to the school. They want to be damaged as all the others plants. We want sharply that the defenders of the human rights and the representants of the union organizations as well as the bosses of Hanes send their delegations in Haiti to CD Apparel s.a, Industrial Park (SONAPI) #31 in order to meet the workers for their information and to do the light on the question because carries it workers remained opened to all negotiation...
Greetings to all !!! 2-To the attention of the persons in charge of the company HANES Brands.
that already does more than four month than the workers have in their possession close to 480.000 T shirt without counting the materials and incidental such as: boxes, cartons, labels, machine etc; on which these is carried the logo of your company and with these logo one all can do without forgetting some lots of work which have been put in deviation. The haitian social legislation in his item gives legal provision to the workers to seize the goods, furnish and buildings while awaiting that the parties find a compromise that their permit of resolve the conflict. The code of conduct and the social legislation american done obligations to the company Hanes to compensate the workers of CD APPAREL as this some is the case for: Puerto Rico, Mexico, Canada, U.S.A and the last one in dates the Dominican republic. This is in this perspective that the workers victims of all the abuses ask Mr. Richard Noll Gérald Evens, E. The Wyatts etc of well to want to take conscience while returning in contact with their lawyer or the workers themselves for a modus operandi in order strength liberer the merchandise. So, the safe, fast and reliable way à be one, it's à get the workers because they leave opened their door for Hanes. Distinguished greetings. Me Jorice Orémil Lawyer of the workers of CD APPAREL in Haiti !!! 3-Responsibles of the Hanes brands,
The comitee of workers of CD Apparel, at building #31, parc industrial (sonapi) HAITI joins their lawer, Jorice Oremil to greet the differences national organization and international for their help and to their enterprise fight by the said workers realize to damages.
Note that the boss of CD Apparel Frantz Pilorge came in Haiti after some meetings with the leaders responsible of Hanes and he has made the workers know that the bosses of Hanes,such as : Richard noll, Gerald evens,Micheal Jordand ………
Are vampires who don’t cease to exploit the workers around the word.
Speaking of Haiti he make understand that the Haitians workers are victims of racial discrimination. This enterprise “CD Apparel” has been congratulated by the same leaders for its efficiency and it’s products without any others .
The Haitians bosses put themselves to the bosses of Hanes side to exploit more the poor Haitian workers .
Lots of companies around the wold have been compensated with discussion such as:
Dominican Republic :3millions dollars us
Porto-Rico =$18.000000 US
Mexico :=$ 27.000000US
Canada : big millions
USA : big millions
And Haitians workers suffer until now and the workers of this company are left to their own devices.
These workers can’t send their children to school , pay the rent not to say sanitary cares about fity thousand (50000) workers arrange themselves already for a strike which aims at two objectives:
1-Ask Hanes Brands to compensate the workers of CD Apparel
2-Ask the Haitian parliamentaries to note the law on minimum wage.
We, workers of the cd apparel let us learn that some bosses of the company Hanes Brands such as: Richard Noll, Gerard Evens, Jorge Oliva from WRAP and others ally themselves with the haitians employers to know: the Bakers, the Apaids, and Richard Coles to prevent to the employees of CD Apparel to obtain their damages and repairs as Hanes does it always for the others plants.For your information, we say that :
Haitian government for the coming days will arrest certain other bosses for corruption and contreband , after the brandt , the Boulos , it will be the Baker’s and Richard Coles, the Apaid’s , Madsen, Acra, Meuz turn . This is the reason we want to ask the persons in charge of hanes to divorce with these employers in order not to to be considered as accomplice in the file of the workers of cd apparel because the state haitian [René Preval] will follow: authors and accomplices in this so national one as international file if hanes refuses, she will be considered as social danger for all the workers of the entire world.
We are waiting fo Hanes investigation in Haiti to release this crisis.
We write the American congress to take action to close the Hanes enterprises.
The workers of CD Apparel have been waiting and expecting that the leaders of Hanes will not shut the door in their face and will satisfy the workes

Hanes was never a very good product in the first place. They'll probably be better made in Asia. In any case, since I disliked the brand when made here, I'll certainly never purchase any in the future.

Here are some companies that make their underwear domestically:

There are some companies that are still striving to make clothing domestically -- we should definitely try to support them. Companies like Hanes pay big stars big dollars to do ad campaigns, and then need to move production overseas because they can no longer afford to pay their domestic employees a decent wage.
