Actor and activist Danny Glover called on Academy Awards nominees and others in the film industry to not wear Hugo Boss suits at Sunday’s awards ceremony.
The “Lethal Weapon” star, in collaboration with the Workers United labor union, made the request in a letter on behalf of 375 Ohio-area factory workers who will lose their jobs if the German company closes the plant next month as planned.
The letter asks Hollywood to “take a small stand for American workers.” Workers United said the plant was profitable and the company was shutting it because it could make clothing more cheaply in Europe.
