You can't get any more Levi's products made in America. I think they had 11 factories, but when they realized that to stay competitive with other brands, they needed to cut their prices drastically. Skilled American workers were the first to go.
In the stores that close at night, they lock their overnight stock staff in, and won't let them leave. If they do leave, they're usually fired.
They used to take out life insurance policies on their eldery workers and collect when said workers pass away.
They don't allow unions in their stores, and fire those who try to organize said unions.
They donate almost exclusively to the Republican party.
There's more, but others here will probably fill in the blanks with links.
