Dov Charney: lecher, hero, neither, or both?

The Jewish Journal takes a look at American Apparel founder Dov Charney, who famously shared more than usual of himself with Jane Magazine and who’s being sued by various ex-employees for sexual harassment. No air-hugging for him! The Journal also casts some doubt on American Apparel’s much-ballyhooed reputation for treating its workers fairly:

The litigation discomforts anti-sweatshop activists who have supported American Apparel. They’d already had to accept Charney’s staunchly anti-union position. And for some time, a small chorus has never quite accepted Charney’s pro-labor bona fides, especially because he never submitted to voluntary inspections.
