What happens when Wal Mart wants to pay $1/pair less for Levis ?
It will be bedlam.....
The obvious choices are:
a. Levi's moves its manufatcuring base from inexpensive 3rd world sweatshop in Sri Lanka (or wherever) to dirt cheap sweatshop in Burma (ditto), and/or
b.Levis' cuts relatively expensive American jobs in redundant distribution center.
I suspect both options are in play here. You?
Some folks will lose their pants.
