I guess it’s reasonable to assume that they now have responsibility for the safety and protection of all their customers and associates. That’s how any reasonable man would see it. I would like to see that plan ASAP.

Shuttered their last North American factories in 2003-2004.

"Levi Strauss & Co. will close its last manufacturing plants in the United States and Canada, eliminating nearly 2,000 jobs, the struggling jeans maker said Thursday. The company will close two sewing and finishing plants in San Antonio by year's end and lay off 800 workers. It will also shutter its three remaining plants north of the border that employ 1,180 people. The company will contract with foreign plants to make up for the closings. The move will allow the company to focus more on product design, marketing and sales of its jeans, said Julie Klee, general manager of Levi Strauss & Co. in Canada. "The closures are an absolutely necessary part of ensuring the long-term competitiveness of our business," Klee said. San Francisco-based Levi Strauss, which just turned 150 years old, became one of America's iconic brands in the 1950s and '60s as Levis became a wardrobe staple of baby boomers.But the company has struggled in recent years to connect with younger consumers. Sales peaked at $7.1 billion in 1996 but have fallen for six straight years to $4.1 billion. In 2002, Levi's U.S.-based parent company closed six U.S. manufacturing plants, eliminating 3,600 jobs..."

Left Coasters like this twit are part of the problem. May they die a slow and agonizing death which they deserve for trying to decide our Second Amendment rights for us. FULS.

“Chip Berg, CEO of Levi Strauss, wrote an open letter to his customers asking them not to bring firearms onto the premises of their stores, offices or other facilities.”

Post them in accordance with local law otherwise piss off.
