Everlane cashmere sweaters are the best. I have several crew neck sweaters. Twice the quality of a much higher priced sweater.

There are both upside and downside to going union. If the employer offers good wages and benefits, then there’s nothing needed, but we don’t know what specific wages these employees had. As this is a fairly new company, compared to others, I am quite sure pay given at least at the start based on predicted sales. At this point now, the company has a proven record and can re-evaluate labor costs along with all other costs. Unfortunately, like every other company, labor costs are the last priority, but to maintain those employees who have probably been there through the startup, does require a cost of some kind. It is a shame that Everlane has become another sweatshop for employees, because of the bottom.

“Radical transparency” in fashion sounds reminiscent of the Emperor’s New Clothes; i.e., peddling a fantastic reality where none exists. If Everlane is as anti-union as it appears, it sounds more like the same old same old.
