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?
