I know I'm setting myself up here, but when I went to college, Levi's cost $4.95 a pair.

outsource their products to factories in other countries where labor is cheaper.

No offense, but I can buy a pair of jeans in SE Asia for $4 to $6 USD. Retail, off the shelf.

OPEN ASSIGNMENT
MISSION TO SAVE AMERICAN JOBS
January 8, 2004

President Bush:

Mr. President your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to recover the 3+ million jobs lost on your watch. You are to find where they went, recover them, and prevent this from happening again.

You have until November 2004 to complete this mission.

If you choose not to accept this mission, or are incapable of performing, don't run in the GOP Primary so another Republican can accept this important mission for America.

American Citizen Voter

PS Ronald Reagan was the last Republican to understand. Ross Perot sent a warning to your Dad but since then all we hear is the mantra, 'Perot gave us Clinton'. Actually your Dad gave us Perot.

I know this article is about outsourcing of jobs, but, I wonder how many customers Levi's alienated when Levi Corp. became a major contributor to Handgun Control Inc.?
2nd amendment folks tend to notice and not forget such things. Remember the downward spiral of K-Mart?

Martha Huizar and Armandina Rodriguez

So Mexicans in Mexico will now be making Levi's instead of Mexicans in America. BFD.

If Levi wasn't run by bad management and the US government cared if we had manufacturing jobs here, then maybe Levi would have had a chance.

Serves them right for never sending me my refund check due from the price gouging lawsuit of the 70s...

I've gone with Rustler jeans for the past 20 years or so; less than half the price of Levi's.
