Be on the look out for any Oscar attendees in Hugo Boss wear. Danny Glover is looking for them. The U.K. Telegragh is reporting Lethal Weapon actor Danny Glover is up to his usual left-wing activism. He is calling on his fellow actors on the red carpet tonight to wear pins on their lapels reading "Keep the Hugo Boss Plant Open.":
He and the union sent a letter saying 375 workers would lose their jobs if the factory closed and asked Hollywood to "take a small stand for American workers."
Not surprisingly, Mr. Glover found it easy to side with the labor unions, but Hugo Boss has already explained the company is not globally competitive, but that did not stop Mr. Glover from asking his Hollywood friends to not wear any Hugo Boss fashion items at the Oscars tonight. The Telegraph further reports reaction from Hugo Boss CEO Andreas Stockert.:

Boycott them because some people might lose their jobs, not because they made uniforms for the Nazis.
Right.

How DARE a private company make a financial decision to keep itself profitable!
It should just pretend to be someone else and have millions of dollars thrown at it like real people do!

‘In a letter to workers in December, Hugo Boss chief operating officer Andreas Stockert said that the company had negotiated in good faith with the union and that it had a responsibility to shareholders.
This is not the first conflict between the unions and Hugo Boss. In 2006, union officials demanded a new contract for workers at Hugo boss. ‘

Maybe Danny should take a trip over to see Hugo and stay there forever. He’s of little use here.

Millions have lost jobs and they want to “save” one factory.
Hey, if you want to keep the factory open, buy their products!! How does wearing a pin help them at all?

Boycotting them is the opposite of helping them.
