American Apparel: Apparently Exploitative Afterall

I have at least 2 dozen t-shirts, skirts, etc., made by American Apparel, hanging in my closet.   I like the way they fit.  I love it that the workers receive a living wage.  Plus, they are a progressive company, right?  They make a sustainable cotton tee, they don't use sweatshop labor...  I have to admit, I was a little disappointed to learn the company was anti-union, but I figured, you can't win 'em all, right?

Then I got this e-mail from a friend:

Here is an article about American Apparel CEO being sued for harassment. Surprise surprise.
